Alzheimer’s- By Sue K Green
It captured her mind,
confounded her senses
Loved ones
were oft times strangers
Reflections and names
that would come and go
Hers, were mixed memories and
broken connections
Confused, capricious, contrary,
adrift in time and places
Wandering, wondering
knowing, not knowing
We walked at her side
carefully, respectfully
She may not have known
our names, but she knew kindness
We can’t know if the sound of our voices
the smiles on our faces touched upon familiar
We feel blessed for the time we had with her
So restless in those last years
May she rest in peace
