Alzheimer's is such a dreadful disease taking it's toll on many who must endure it. A true test of love

True love Busy in the waiting room I observed an elderly gent He passed about and viewed the time I could see time not well spent I beckoned him to the office of mine Saying I notice you observe the time Yes he said with sweet sad smile At the rest home it’s tea time Who is the one that waits for you? Will they be upset if you are late? No he said, five years she’s been In her current state Her mind is gone, she knows me not But I remember her The life we led the love we share Hoping glimmers will occur She is my love, my life you see A promise I did take From moments first wee tender kiss Through rough times we dismissed Our vows of love were made She will always be my flower My morning’s gentle breeze The one I carried in sickness And her the same to me Not once will I ever leave her Not here and after time When God takes her to his kingdom My Rose to all will shine So you see my doctor friend Tarry I should not For every moments gift with her Is one not wished for loss She is my special Angel I cherish her you see Our love will be forever Even not if she know me He left my office slowly You could see that he was tired But tears did well up in my eyes True love was never finer Carolee Dennis-Woosley May 20, 2012

It is good to know that "true" love is out there. Your poem and what it expresses are very compelling, moving, and meaningful, Carol. It is a terrible thing to lose someone when they are still physically in our presence. Thank you for sharing and awakening thought. Love and best wishes,

My brothers wife had this horrible illness, we watched her waste away and she no longer knew anyone. She passed away before my late husband. It took its toll on my brother, but he never left her side.

I'm almost at a loss for words. This was exquisite. Yeah, yeah, I am at a loss for words.

Carolee, I personally don't know anyone with Alzheimer's...it is a devastating disease and the people, whether they are caregivers or family they are truly Angels. Thanks.

Always,
Deborah
