Undying Love From In the Land of the Elderly
The husband of a friend
Is in an Alzheimer ward
Of a nursing home.
She visits him daily.
Most of the time
He doesn't know who she is.
She sits with him and
Strokes his hand.
One day, very near the end,
He puts his arm around her and says,
"You're the only girl I ever loved."
