My life has changed direction
Which way I do not know
Who can tell what happens
What tomorrows seeds will sow

My mind is playing tricks now
The changes I see unkind
She sees things no differently
The things I want too blind

She wastes away her final days
Sat rocking in her chair
Always fumbling with her hands
Her mind just doesn't care

Insanity strikes my thoughts
As each day comes and goes
The blank expression on her face
Is the only world she knows

My life has changed direction
Which way I do not know
Who can tell what happens
What tomorrows seeds will sow....

My mother has dementia. I will never leave her X
