Alzheimer Blues
Picture By Jinksy |
I look into those baby blues to see
I see you but you see me
in some refracted history
Times misplaced,displaced ,
Some times erased ,misplaced!
I look into your baby blues,
I miss the twinkle,
Replaced by well earned wrinkles
That sprinkle your ivory skin,
Somewhere inside you are still within.
I look into your baby blues to see,
I see you ,how do you see me ?
Your child ? your carer ?
Your memory sharer ?
I search those baby blues
In my heart,I know deep,deep inside.
My mother still resides,
Inside, she cannot hide,
I know those baby blues !

The bad part is nobody knows what kind of awareness remains with the on who has the disease...
ReplyDeleteA sobering offering for the Tandem...
Alzheimers... I think I'd rather have cancer. Both are horrible and sad. I like how you approach it with "I look in to those baby blues..."
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems a fruitless search to find the personality that once was.
