Some days …I leave … sad ‘n blue
Crocodile tears … missing you
Need resilience … by your side
Strength wanes … emotions collide
My heart’s … stressed … sanity beware
Alzheimer’s stifles … your life declares
Then … watching … Lady-blue
My heart strengthens … fired … anew
In spite of chaos … confusion … strife
Alzheimer’s … can’t … abate
Your … love … of … life!

A sad decline…why should this be
Its the way Alzheimers treated thee
but down inside where you cannot see
There is still the same old remembered me
all is not lost, I am still here
I am just slightly muddled this I fear.
But always remember that deep inside
Is where the real ME, still resides
I see your face, confusion it shows
You, not sure which way wind blows
I could be good, to smile or frown
Or turn your world upside down.
But always remember daughter of mine
My heart and love will always be thine
So when I am no longer around
In your heart is where I shall be found
