Alzheimer's

I sit at the window just staring to space A woman sits by me, they say she’s my wife I try to remember, I look in her face I know she’s been with me for most of my life. My memory’s dying Of that there’s no doubt Will I become trying Thus forcing her out. I try to be cheerful, I try to be brave But I’m oh so fearful Of how I’ll behave. I live now in anger, I live now in rage, My memory stolen because of my age.
