A Ravaged Mind by Annabel Sheila Wednesday, January 26, 2011 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan January is Altzheimer's Month...a time to recognize this horrible disease that steals our loved ones, imprisioning them within their own minds....I wrote this in memory of my Mother-in-law who suffered from this affliction....

Faces oft familiar But she can’t remember why. She rarely sees a soul she knows And when she does, she cries. She dreams about youthful vigour And she’s in her prime once more! Then she trips on time’s threshold And memory slams the door! All but lost to those she loves They watch her slip away. Into a place beyond their reach Her spirit weaker each day. Lost in a maze, her ravaged mind Will never set her free! She’s biding time until the end When she’ll soar to eternity! © Annabel Sheila
