although not for long, I am lucky

although not for long,

I was lucky to have felt the love of a mother

although not for long,

I was lucky to get to know her

although not for long,

but every cell in me echoes of her

her unconditional love, angelic kindness and warm words

chime in times of despair, perplex and uncertainty 

although not for long,

I was lucky to have memories of her 

although not for long

I am lucky to have felt 

the 

love 

of 

my 

mother
