Seventy-one and in a
nursing home
Her mind wanders the halls
of memory
Seeing family members dead
and gone
Who aren’t really there (Or maybe they are?)
Visitors don’t know if she’ll
remember them
She has more bad days than
good lately
Who would choose to live
out their days
Seventy-one and in a
nursing home?
Sad. We went through that with my Dad. He was 76.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, seventy-one is so young to be afflicted with dementia .... way too young.
