Stranger
This poem is written in support of those who have Dementia or Alzheimer's. It is also in support of their loved ones. The journey is distressing and difficult for everyone.
May we hold on to the wonderful family memories for all that is forgotten.
Stranger

You can't see me
Even though I am right here
You look right through me
I am a stranger in your eyes
And the lights are going off
In the rooms of your mind
More dark corners than lit up
More lost memories to find
And the labyrinths are dimming
You can't find your way out
You're stuck in certain times
You're only feeling doubt
As time passes
There's so much more to lose
And I'm wondering if I'll lose
The very best of you
I miss you mom
Each and every day
I wish you could know that
I'm with you come what may
But somewhere in your soul
I pray you feel my love
That you know that you are special
You're a blessing from above
And when your time comes
To return your soul to Heaven
I will hold on to our memories
So wonderful and special
