When robins appear an angel is near.

A memorial dedicated to my mother who suffered from dementia for many years.
November 1920 - July 2008
Mother and Dementia 
When dementia creeps in, through the back door
Loving is needed, like never before...
An expressionless face, an empty heart
A once dazzling life that had lost it's spark
I saw your sad tears and felt every fear
Of foggy days that for you never cleared.

All disappeared, those happy golden years
Memories you held, so precious, so dear
The loveliest of smiles, gone without trace
Who was that stranger who dwelt in your place.

Tenderness was missing, none existing 
Care and affection you were resisting
It sure broke my heart, to see you like that
When we'd shared love and friendship in the past.

My one and only forever mother
There couldn't have been a better another
I still pray in hope, again and again
You didn't suffer any physical pain.

As you loved and cared, like a mother should 
I cared for you, as I promised I would 
I hope that these words to heaven get through
"Dearest Mother, I will always love you."
