Poem About A Loved One Suffering With Dementia When that last moment came, he was with her.Īnd his heart filled with joy as she looked up at him,Īnd their love shined so bright in her eyes. He held on for years, ever loyal and true.Īnd despite how much farther she drifted away, Of that wonderful woman, so special and dear,īut watching that person he adored fade away,īut the life they once knew stopped existing for her,Īnd she no longer could see him the same. There were days he'd be willing to tell her good-bye. Her good days grew less and her bad days grew worse. There was nothing that she could control. She was gradually losing herself every day. It was torture for him to see her like this, Most of the time she'd forget who he was, Sometimes he'd wonder just where she had gone. He could already picture her sweet, gentle face, When the time came again to visit her there, Watching A Wife Fade From Alzheimer's Disease You watch me slowly drift away, like the last embers on the fire. Your face hides so much burden I sense the end is near. You offer me love and kindness, but I have no emotions left to give. My life is slow and simple, the world outside confuses me.Įach day you're next to me, familiarity at my side. The walls provide safety the life outdoors is not for me. These walls I sit and look at are all the comfort that I need. You talk of different places, but these four walls are all I see. You sob such soft and gentle tears, but I cannot reason why. You seem so happy to see me, yet still I make you cry. You talk to me so much, but silence is all I can reply.Īs you hold my hand, I see the tears swell up in your eyes. I don't know if I knew you, so many memories have passed me by. You seem so happy to sit beside me and give away your time.Īs you tell me stories, I sit there in a dreamlike state of mind.
