Alzheimer's Aggression
Growing old and forgetful, her mind betrayed,
Barbara, once gentle, now a tempest's rage,
Alzheimer's cruel grasp, a storm unchained,
Innocence lost, memories on a fading page.
Her eyes once filled with love, now distant, wild,
A caregiver's heart, with patience, reconciled,
But as she battles demons, lost in her despair,
I'll shield her from the storm, though it's hard to bear.
Through every violent tempest, I'll remain,
A lighthouse in the night, a steadfast chain,
For in her darkest moments, love's my creed,
Alzheimer's can't extinguish the love we need.
Though storms may rage and test our every turn,
In this battle, love's the lesson we must learn.
