Alzheimer's

To the mind that's choked as a stagnant pool With algae covering Its simplest thought. Departed is the recall of this magnificent tool Absent is the passion for life once sought. Deadpan eyes meet those ensconced with pain Seeking much patience and understanding. From the life that was, let the memories remain Sometimes life seems cruel and demanding.
