Alzheimer

Of all the
Things about her,
Beguiling smile is
All I remember.

Of all the
Faces I’ve seen,
Hers was the most
Relevant in dreams.

Of all the
Rewards I sought,
Her love was the
Best I ever got.

Of all the
Sounds I hear,
Her voice felt
Most soulful & clear.

Of all the
Lips touching mine,
Her lips felt
Most tepid & divine.

Rest of the
Things about her,
Kept fading away
With my Alzheimer.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
