Stolen

You were stolen far too soon, passed away alone in your room. 
I was too far away to be there in time and for this I shall regret for the rest of my life.Alzheimer's stole you away from me my Mother my Mum my Mummy. 

Taken far too young, life's not fair I miss my Mum.

Your memories were stolen away from you and along with these your dignity too. 
In the end you forgot how to swallow and bed bound you were left to wallow.  I did my best in keeping you comfy, and visited lots to keep you company. 

But in the end it was all in vain, Alzheimer's stole you and ended your pain. 

Alas my pain was just to start, Alzheimer's ripped out my heart and stole my one and only Mother, my Mum my Mummy. 

Taken far too young, l will forever miss my Mum
