Off the Rails

[Rollema]

Off the Rails

The dreaded dementia looms
My mind as thick as brooms
What spite is this
The neighbours hiss
Each morning a blank beginning
With renewed meaning
Struggling to remember
From January to December
My husband filling in the gaps
Whoever I lapse
A willing hand
Even when I demand
Confusion
Isn't the solution
A lonely place
Too much empty space
Taking little steps
Taking the time to prep
One day at a time
I still give a dime

it's amazing how poetry helps express what is so hard to say @Rollema

Thanks. It's my outlet.
