Dear Annabel, so many of us are facing this sad situation as our parents grow old. My mom is now 88 and so far is pretty much in control of her faculties. I pray that God will allow her mind to remain clear until he sees fit to take her to her new home with him.
Your poem has good cadence and flow. I enjoyed reading it!

So far my mom's sense of humor is alive and well, and she still knows me for which I thank God. She is starting to have trouble with recalling older acquaintances and relatives. Nicely penned words for a difficult subject.Patrick

Ah we all have a friend or neighbor... But Martha, even though afflicted seems very happy and cheerful and that is a blessing.

I was reading this at work and was interuppted by a phone call asking if we did diagnostic testing for dememntia. What a moment. I referred the caller to one of our inpatient hospitals. Her husband is starting down this sad road.
This is one area where we really should invest our resources.
Awesome poem as always Annabel.
