A Cruel Disease

Alzheimer's or Dementia They are both the same A disease That has No cure That eats away the brain It takes away their memory And everything they knew Some days they can't remember Even The closest ones to you They try so hard Think of your name But get confused And can't explain They Start to panic Sometimes they cry They look for help But don't know why Feeling helpless Or in the way They try to tell you But cannot say Their eyes look sad And tired to A blank expression As they look at you You wish that you Could turn back time Go back to when They were in their prime Just to talk About their day If dreams came true That's what I'd pray But all you have Until you part Is the memories You keep Within your heart So don't give up Do not ignore Cause Nows the time They need you more And when that day Will finally come They will remember What you have done
