Dementia

With eyes so lost you look at me
...another banished memory
you smile because you know my face
but yet my name, you can not place.

Where is the woman i know is so strong
where are the memories we'd laugh upon?
What happened to the lady so proud who stood tall,
Dementia has stolen…stolen it all.

A distant frail lady now sits in a chair
a vacant expression along with her there
Remembering childhood,with her father and mother
finding hard to recall, any memory of other.
