Alzheimers
A message did come at the end of the day
My mother’s mom was sick so I couldn’t stay
My world full of joy and peace no fear
Was now torn down with this first of many new tears
This first stone was cast my heart it did crack
I now felt a new weight up there on my back
My travel was quick I had to be there
My poor mommy was hurting beyond compare
Grandma knew not us she just looked and stared
She was only 60 lbs just lying there
This disease had it’s hold this would be her last final day
Why must people we love have to die this way
Alzheimer’s was given and then it did take
As I watched this poor woman my heart it did break
She soon lost her life not knowing my name
But I know in my heart she was glad that I came
