Dementia by M R Wood Tuesday, July 20, 2004 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan For all those who have fallen prey to Alzheimer and their families ... God Bless You All

Fragile now amongst it all Frail to every moment passing Memories fade fast against the backdrop of time Only now remains Gone from sight to soon Age consuming mind But not the soul Familiar faces turn strange Loved ones holding on to images past Finally accepting the decay A self moving far from grasp Yet somehow free releasing all Unreachable in this place Alone but for God’s sweet grace Finality in life’s last embrace To rest at last Farewell Copyright – Michael Wood - 2004

Powerful and heartfelt write, Michael; Alzheimer's is a cruel, insidious disease! God be with those who have it and those who care for them; that has got to be so damned hard!... (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears <
