Alzheimers

Alzheimers 
Some say Alzheimers took you,
But I simply don't agree,
Yes you didn't recognise my face,
But your heart remembered me. 

I never saw you as a partly missing,
Or as a flicker of your former self,
I saw you as my Grandma,
And simply nothing else. 

Your heart was filled with love,
No negativity at all,
Your alzheimers gave you powers,
It froze time and I stayed small. 

Although I've gone past 20,
You remembered the younger me,
The times when I wore my school uniform,
And came round yours for tea. 

Grandma you were beautiful,
And one day we shall meet again,
But for now, sweet dreams, I love you,
Please wait for me till then.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

"The windows of the soul" certainly have a tale to tell . . . .
