To Mom Stranger Than Fiction

Harder than rock, life mocks
When a dear one departs
To the other side of life
All wisdom deserts, all rationality expires 
When a dear one suffers at the last lapse of life
Struggle to save them, prayers to rescue
Panic to doctors, appeal to Gods to appease 
Please, please, save our dear one
Let 'em live please
Just another short spell
Some cynics, you find them among physicians & spiritualists 
Turn around and say, "Oh let them go, it is their ripe old age"
Who is to decide what is the ripe old age to go?
Some die so young, some are young however old
I am confused, a bit diffused 
At the decisions wise men make in God's name
And let nonchalance slip into the care & medication 
Of letting men live till God wills
How dare we decipher His Will!
To the last minute our job is to heal
Be we physicians, healers, care providers
Do our best till the end
Never know, we may win over death?!
And when we do not win we pacify our minds
With parables, "Life is as exact as the etching on a mile stone"
And so farewell, to the dear one gone
To the shining Heavens of a million stars
My dear one will be one of the soul constellation 
Free of pain & suffering, some consolation 
Earth is not our goal or our destination
Dear one, our love, our salutations!
May we forgive ourselves for the errors we made
Some unforgivable things we did and said
But had you lived, this love-hate would have continuedEarth is full of duality
When I want so much to love
I falter, trip and irritate in hostility
The war of virtue & vices will never cease
As long as I live
So goodbye dear one, remember me with goodwill.
