Dear Aunt Ruth/Grandma

 

This is a poem written for our Grandma/Aunt Ruth to celebrate her 91st birthday in 2005. She is Mrs. Ruth (Gordon) Mckerracher; who came into our lives during 1974 when we migrated to Canada and made residence in Niagara Falls, Ontario. She became a family member and took upon herself to fill the loving Grandma position when Nina was born in 1974 and when Sunir arrived in 1979.

                                                                                 Our dear Aunt Ruth  Our Grandma 

   Yonder and over, way back in 1974 

                                                                                    Your love and charm won us over   

The sound & fury of Niagara Falls     

Bubbled over into frequent calls 

                                                                                         Like fish taken to water 

You took us into your bosom   

                                                                                       Enchanted were Nina & Sunir 

                                                                                            What hugs, kisses and care 

                                                                                         You are in our hearts and thoughts 

The spirit emboldened 

and sparkled

   Our hunger for family fulfilled  

                                                                          Our Grandma in Kenya well comforted 

  We wish you the best 

                                                                     for the years to come Looking forward to your 

wisdom and warmth   

                                                                         Happy Birthday this August 2005 

                                                                       Many more to come  to celebrate a century   

Nina, Sunjay, Sunir, 

          Jackie & Pravin Shah

   Forever enchanted & emboldened by love
