She looks away and stares into space
Today she dosen't remember my face
I am her daughter, her second born
She speaks to me softly and asks who I am
Do I have any children and what are their names
Shes forgotten so much, It breaks my heart
There's no hope for Mom
There's no bringing her back
So again I explain my place in her life
I tell her about my family and my wonderful life
But her eyes are vacant
Nothing sinks in
Than she asks me the same questions all over again
So we sit and talk about the same old things
Tomorrow we'll do it all over again
I'm thankful she's still with us
For I'd miss her sweet face
We take each day as they come
Always grateful for another one
Absolutely beautiful poem;
Absolutely beautiful poem; morose, yet not completely forlorn
