Analysis of "Grandma”



We lived extremely far apart; an ocean divides us,
When death took you away a year ago, I made a fuss,
Although I couldn’t go to India; it was a weekday,
I recollect our sentimental memories after you passed away,
Even from a young age, when I visited your abode,
You welcomed me and showed me around using the road,
There is one thing that I want to tell you, it’s true,
That no matter what, I will always love you.
