DON’T YOU REMEMBER ME MOTHER?

You held my hand and made me walk,
You prompted words so that I could talk…

You stood with me when others made spaces,
You prepared me for life and its races…
You pointed fingers when I was wrong,
With you life seemed to be an earthy song…

You became the boat that helped me sail through troubles,
You gave me the courage to rebuild the broken rubbles…

You sacrificed your dreams so that I could see them,
You gave up your comfort and kept it in a hem…

As the time walked its path,
It seemed to have taken you in its wrath…
With every step you lost your vigor,
You couldn’t recollect thoughts that used to trigger…

You started forgetting incidents that you were supposed to stay,
But ‘Alzheimer’ was the reason which distanced you away…

The kith and kin used to come and go,
But for you, they were people whom you didn’t even know…
You kept on gazing and tried to recollect who they were,
But your memory had dampened and had become blur…

But that day was not like any other,
I went to you but you pushed me with a shudder,
My fears had now turned into a flooder,
And I asked you-
‘Don’t you remember me mother?’
