Array ( [sid] => 33966 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => How Can We Not [time] => 2004-02-05 14:27:17 [hometext] => all poems i write are related one way or another to alzheimers, a tragedy all need to be aware of [bodytext] => we care for them and love them till the end
our hearts die many times before the final breath
there could never be another way that is our love
so to the end we stand by them our love is true
how can we not respect and love them

how could anyone of us imagine it any other way
their illness takes them to another realm from us
we dont know what that is like we can only guess
we know here there will be an empty spot for us
how can we not respect and love them

for us to try to understand is difficult to do
we dont try we only wish them well and love them
we try to respect their wishes foll their request
to do any differently would be against their will
how can we not respect and love them

they entrusted us with their life while they lved
we lived them for many years now we need to release
it is hard to do that when you love them so much
but respecting their wishes is a greater gift to give
how can we not respect and love them [comments] => 1 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 39 [informant] => maryetta [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
