In a childlike state of mind
Slowly my mother drifts
Her thoughts are hard to find
As the sands of time sift

With the loving mother that I once knew
In the hard times she saw me through
But now her mind drifts to something new
To a place where I can’t find “you”

I see a lost “you” with your childlike eyes
As you drift towards a dementia side
Not realising the pain you left behind
Soon the mother I will no longer find

In a childlike state of mind
Slowly my mother drifts
Her thoughts are hard to find
As the sands of time sift


Slowly losing you to dementia Mum I will always love you X
