An Artifact
by Dr. Soma Sengupta
You sent me a card, when your mother died.
She would pass and did pass,
Everything that would be and was faded
With her smile, you knew, and you thanked,
I felt as if I had lost again, but you gave me courage.
You sent me a text of a photograph of your child
Your daughter, her smile like her grandmother’s
Melted one’s heart like the sun,
Yet all I have left is a note, a memory
Which will fade with time, and time that once was.
