I wrote this when my dad was suffering from Alzheimer’s, such a horrible disease
All your life you looked forward to your golden years,
and you are finally there,
I am sorry that it turned out the way it is.
Life’s plan, so cruel.
I am so sorry that your health is stealing so much from you,
I am so sorry that you have worked hard all your life
and now it is filled with never ending pain,
So much hurts, that you cannot sleep,
So unfair, you did not deserve this,
I am sorry that all you want is peace,
But your health will not let you be.
I am sorry your friends did not keep in contact,
I am sorry that you cannot enjoy what time is left.
I wish I could endure your pain,
I wish I could take the pain with me and let you smile,
For a while.
