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

Very sweet write about tragedy Annabel. My mom is thusly afflicted and I found it helped to write about it as well, which is why I am continuing my "Alzyism" series of articles here on the Den. Patrick

So sad, so lonely to be lost within one's mind with an occasional lifting to what truly was and is. So sad, my friend.
