The old age in COVID – 19

Video called my mother in the quarantine
It’s the time of COVID-19,
Two different cities two different phases of life
One was mine full of energy, and one of hers less of sensory,

Days flew away staying away from her
And the upcoming things were a blur, we both didn’t know what’s next but the time we spend on video call was more precious than rest.

I could see her eyes filled with hope
That was for me to come back home
And stay with her in the upcoming old age period
But the hopes were getting down as the lockdown extended

Every day she came up with a new thing to do
From food cuisines to the health tips
everything was new every day
to discover in each other all the way

deep down I had a fear of losing her
I could see her cheering me up every day and night
through the small perks even the food appetite

she is growing older with weakness in her body
faced many ups and downs she got the audacity
but she was still scared for my sagacity
to disappoint her by leaving suddenly by being apart

memory is fading with many things leaving behind
More is yet to come but everything will be fine
And it’s the tranquillity that is helping us to traipse
