Her Smile Will Brighten Up a Sunny Day Tritina For Messina
If I could wave a magic wand to bring her back to us again
A time before a monster came and slowly took her brain away
Malevolence incarnate an unwelcome guest on a sunny day
Secretly arriving, silently entwining, spreading evil on a sunny day
Now too late to shut the gate, life cannot be the same again
With malicious intent it slowly devours her precious mind away
Family devastation of cruel realization, this disease will never go away
No inkling when Alzheimer's crept inside her mind that fateful day
A wife, a mother, a granny, a friend, life cannot be the same again
Hold her hand again, wipe all tears away, her smile will brighten up a sunny day
