Premium Member The Boxer - in Trumps own words
I play by the rules day in and day out, Showing my class, wielding my clout. I take the hard blows time and again, Knowing my patience shan't be in vain. Joe's on the ropes, all by himself, Waiting around to be dumped on the shelf, Restraint is my friend, as I pull back and watch, Those flailing wild jabs I so...

Please Stay With Me
She stared at the pictures and all the memories came rushing in She knows these faces of children and remembers her life again Once again she heard their laughter like before her life fell apart A tear of joy streaked her soft cheek as she felt their love fill her heart It is all the warmth she can feel as her grandchildren...

We See What We Want To See
We walked hand in hand Towards the end of our land Through the history of time Our life - it felt sublime You held me and I held you A sweet embrace and lovely too Our memories, less so Mine have died.. oh long ago. You are looking straight at me Feeling pleasure, pain and glee For the life you had with me Together shared, near...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member What a Crying Shame
WHAT A CRYING SHAME My parents were married for 45 years, Looking forward to their 50th anniversary, But my Dad got cancer and died, And my Mom slowly developed Alzeimers! She lived with us, but often did FLOUNDER, And her mood was often DOLOROUS, She spoke incessantly on a make believe phone call, But to us this was BOMBAST and of little meaning! She...

Premium Member Broken: The First Rule of Alzheimer Club
He forgets the things he was going to do, Earlier on in the day, He forgets right in mid conversation, The words he was going to say, And he forgets why he walked into the room, He forgets the words that were said, He forgets the names of people he meets, He forgets the things in his head, But...

My love I’m right here Forever by your side I am strong enough for two Never will I let you down It breaks my heart To see your vitality Slowly fade to nothing But the eyes don’t lie The twinkle is still there Down deep inside The love’s still there Deep down inside The memories we made They’ll never fade When I hold your hand And see...
