Caroline Brewell Poet Rhyme

Alzheimers

Alzheimers 
Some say Alzheimers took you,
But I simply don't agree,
Yes you didn't recognise my face,
But your heart remembered me. 

I never saw you as a partly missing,
Or as a flicker of your former self,
I saw you as my Grandma,
And simply nothing else. 

Your heart was filled with love,
No negativity at all,
Your alzheimers gave you powers,
It froze time and I stayed small. 

Although I've gone past 20,
You remembered the younger me,
The times when I wore my school uniform,
And came round yours for tea. 

Grandma you were beautiful,
And one day we shall meet again,
But for now, sweet dreams, I love you,
Please wait for me till then.

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.
