[hometext] => Comments appreciated, I had the honor of speaking to an elderly man who shared a story with me about dementia and his wife. I was blessed to hear this story and let him read the poem that he inspired. He said it may be sad, but he loved it.
[bodytext] => As she forgets my face of many years I watch the one I love whither away. Memories that were cherished, now lost A hateful disease, her mind slowly decays Doctors bring life to the struggle And the changes my love will go through But no warning will truly suffice As this hateful disease grew At first she wondered around Forgetting were she had been. Then the memory of me was erased And my name was now of other men Forced to stand by and watch And remember the love that we shared. While her cries filled the night. And In her eyes, a strangers glare But she has changed my life for the better And I have known her since I was seven Now my time is coming near And await to meet her again in heaven Untill that day comes I stand by the side of my wife From death do us part I will love her till the end of my life [comments] => 2 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 32 [informant] => bigj [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
