Karen Croft Poet Free verse

Alzheimer's and Lost Memories

It's a moment in life
when all your memories
fall away
and all that's left
is a blank palette
friends and family
come to visit
and you just sit there
like they're strangers
your blank stare
upsets everyone

L Milton Hankins February 9, 2022 at 1:33 PM I understand. There is a lack of understanding all the way around, karen. What do the visitors expect? I don't know. I went through it with my wife's mother. So sad.
