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.
