Poem
My darling husband, Gordon I got a lot of response out of you today Your smile lit up like the brightest sun Your chuckles singing our their chorus of humour Eyes twinkling with emotion Overflowing with your evident love for me You knew who I was the minute I came in The penny dropped: "You are my wife!" Said your eyes, speaking on behalf of your tongue Unable to vocalise your feelings and desires It pains me to hear your rattly breath As you battle against yet another chest infection It seems so unfair, my love The medicine makes you better, and you relax Then another attack pulls you under I hear you had another turn When your eyes behaved strangely And you just weren't taking things in But thanks be to God, it was quick And you rallied back to the here and now Despite these obstacles, my sweet Your lips still know how to kiss! The most tender terms of endearnment Place themselves on my mouth They confirm my hopes that you love me Your Alzheimer's cannot win against your recognition Love: One. Dementia: Nil! But when tears spill from your eyes My heart is torn into pieces You cannot tell me what it is that's upset you The salty liquid mingles together As I lay my cheek against yours The only thing I can do Is give you my love And pray for the day that all this will cease And you take a ride on the carpet of freedom Meanwhile we must cherish Every precious moment of our time together Your eternally loving wife, Diane
