Naani's 75th Birthday

She bears her responsibilities,
like a batch of honour,
courageous and infallible,
a hero to all who know her.

In ashram, in sewa,
she toils the entire day.
as fatigue dawns upon her,
she sits down to pray.

Like a spoilt young girl,
she comes home late at night.
leaves by the morning,
giving all of us a fright.

A shepherd to our family,
a leader from the start,
her tiny little frame,
bears a mighty heart.
