A Terrible Disease

Oh it is so sad I said in tears.
Not knowing she was deaf and blind.
In a fetal position for two years.
Clincher that she had lost her mind.
Alzheimer’s is one of my big fears.
A disease that is terribly unkind.

My late Dad had it, it is a terror worse than anything except for reality itself. Well penned sadness.
