Notes About The Poem

Mom and Alzheimer

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.

Tom Tom Cunningham January 31, 2020 at 8:22 AM So sorry for your loss William, no more suffering and she has now gone to a better place. Tom William Kelii Kekaula January 31, 2020 at 8:19 AM Yes, Tom, it certainly was that and before she passed she remembered me saying she wanted to go home, whereto, I had done so leaving the hospital for home and three days later she left us for the land of glory, Aloha William
