Dementia
A giving smile designed to assure
All is well within my world
A stifled grimace, seems all too quick to follow
Requests for forgiveness asked
For oft' strained moments masked
Forgotten names, a pain that’s all so hard to swallow
All is well within my world
A stifled grimace, seems all too quick to follow
Requests for forgiveness asked
For oft' strained moments masked
Forgotten names, a pain that’s all so hard to swallow
Home-care lost in a whirlwind
Of danger, risk of damage done
Frustration too can lapse into wild curse
Soon to value whatever way
Can be gleaned from each day
Now headed down a road without reverse
Of danger, risk of damage done
Frustration too can lapse into wild curse
Soon to value whatever way
Can be gleaned from each day
Now headed down a road without reverse
Fear of control, a wry factor
In the eye of the afflicted
“Wherever please have my keys and wallet gone?”
A full grieving soft begun
Glossed pride now too undone
Why, oh why, was our beloved 'the chosen one'?
In the eye of the afflicted
“Wherever please have my keys and wallet gone?”
A full grieving soft begun
Glossed pride now too undone
Why, oh why, was our beloved 'the chosen one'?
Grahame J Flynn Views in Verse
