Another Moment
It was the last day.
My mother refused to stay in bed
I put her on my feet ,
Held her to my body
And walked her to the TV room
I sat her down,
Propped her with pillows
Lay my head on her shoulders
Held her close and sang her a song
She corrected me when I went wrong .
After a while I said good bye.
It was Diwali.
I went for a party
I played cards the whole night
I returned when it was early morn .
Got ready for bed.
Just then my father called
Maa was dead
