Come here, my dear, and have no fear, I'm here, Mom loved her grandkids, but she loved us first, We're her trials, hid behind smiles, she rehearsed, Mom had The Word, and the Lord--knew naught fear Scriptures and song, sing along, she's well versed Come here, my dear, and have no fear, I'm here, Words I used -- as she endured ... Alzheimer, Faculties ... difficulties ... mom my dear, Kind words passing people ... social climber, Believed in Heaven--I hear her ... "I'm HERE!" "Be along shortly", says this old-timer. 2020 January 31 Rhyme Time 8 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Lu Loo 2.) Come here, my dear, and have no fear

It's a terrible condition William, I've seen many with it, it's so sad. Tom
