The funeral took place on a beautiful sun kissed day
As the mourners gathered, in pain with nothing to say
The coffin was draped in flowers in words of mum
Many tears rained but in blue skies remained the sun
The priest paid tributes of past days in her life
And spoke of her marriage sixty years a loving wife
It was so painful as alzheimer's slowly crumbled her
Slowly her thoughts turned to clay, going nowhere
A prisoner in her own brain she sat with a vacant stare

How can there be a god when someone’s life ends like this
On that night she slowly faded her children gave her a kiss
In the final moments it was goodbye to the mum they miss
In the arms of angels for her final sleep in peace and bliss
The children she gave birth too where five boys and a girl
She has now made her final journey and left this world
But her memories remain intact by those left behind
Her love still lives on although it’s painful in all there minds…...

Fictional for now.
