Ma: Her Dilemma

"...A final salute..."

Ma: Her Dilemma


And
Antibiotics had worked
Always…
But…?

She refused to take
Food,
Medicine!
‘Legacy’
Dumped, she was
‘Punishing’ herself!!!

Force
Failed.
Coaxing too…

She departed
Couple of days
Later!

A final
Salute…
The Swansong
Performed…
* * *
As I close my eyes…
Life, laughter
Ripple through the
Air
Backing and yet not backing
Her
‘Legacy’!
