Image result for pictures of a glowing fire in a fireplace in an old home

The rain drops, drip-drops from the eaves Wind creates a sighing in the amber needled pine trees Moonless night puts all in this fall's deep night sleep Even howling from coyotes slowly slows and cease There's a ghoulish feeling to the damp air's flight As the mist swirls on this coal black night Invited inside where a small fire in the fireplace is aglow Where a comforting warmth from the hearth does flow The silvery hair upon his old head As memories of years gone by have suddenly fled They left on Alzheimer's tangles last call This most dreaded Halloween of all

The damp and dark night with escalating gloom is so powerfully delineated. A poem quite in keeping with the Halloween spirit, dear Sara...

Thank you, Valsa. Scary thought to think that Alzheimer's has fully hit home. Sara

Yes, Victor, it is. It runs in my husband's family or at least they think that is what it is. No one has had an autopsy done to see if that is what it is for sure. Sara
