Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
in
Mind fading away
Ravaged by illness and age
Fate of so many
Such a sad state of affairs
Watching those we love forget
≈
Feeling so helpless
We’ve become total strangers
Passing in the night
Frustration steeped in sadness
Becomes our permanent state
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
That’s a terrible thing to deal with. Good luck.
Thank you Charles, I appreciate that.
It is sad, a part of living, and a slow dying.
It is a very sad thing to have happen to someone. I have an aunt who suffers with alzheimer’s disease and although she looks as wonderful as always, she no longer knows whom we are.
Yes I’ve seen that too. Blessings to you and all your family Dom.
And to you and yours as well Nicodemas, thank you.
Beautifully captured!
Thank you so much my friend.
The sadness and the frustration truly are mutual as your choice of the word “our” in the last line conveys. Thank you for such a fine example of the volumes that can be suggested by a single word.
You are very welcome. I actually changed that “our” from “your” and back a couple of times until I finally made my decision. Thank you for noticing.
Thank you so much for the re-blog Gale, I really do appreciate it. Be well my friend.
