Feeling Helpless

My wife has become an insomniac,
during ebon hours she doesn’t sleep.
Like an owl she’s become nocturnal, 
I wish again she was counting sheep.

But dementia does this to a person,
God put us together, she’s in my keep.
All of my days start off the same,
and most days, when alone, I weep.
