PLEASE DONT PITY ME
Please dont pity me because i have dementia
What do you see when you look into my eyes?
Do you see a blank stare, a sorrowful face?
And yet ? You dont see what i see........................
I see my childhood friends, playing abundantly
I see my wonderful mum and Dad guiding me in life,
My brothers and sisters are still young as we play in the garden
The town where i was born hasn't changed a bit,
The school still stands were i went
On the park we spent so many hours on , the gates are still open
I can still smell the Forest we played in
The food tastes just the same as it did,
And the sun is still as hot.................
Please dont Pity me because i have dementia
Just because i am regressing isn't such a bad thing,
Where i am now, i have no worries, no bills, no expenses,
Where i am now is a happy place,
I am sorry if i dont remember you as who you are,
But if i remember you as my sister, or mum,
That is a huge compliment,so please dont be sad,
Be happy for me, after all........................
i am getting a Second chance at visiting my CHILDHOOD
HOW MANY CAN SAY THAT ???
