Hope’s Eternal
Chirping birdie … in the tree
Do you see … what … I see?
Wandering … souls … miles long
Searching … seeking … heart’s song
Some are positive … some … not
Some argumentative … on the spot
Some need company … along the way
Some are solo … no more … to say
Some hallucinate … sad atmosphere
Some delusional … final … frontier
Daily … stress …becomes too … much
Need … quiet milieu … caregiver’s touch
Alzheimer’s winning … mind’s in decay
But … hope’s eternal … love saves the day!
