Perhaps he`s aggressive; Perhahs she is rude
Maybe they`re quiet or subdued
You may feel nervous or even scrared
With people whose minds are now impaired
Before you turn to run and hide
Look at the body with a spirit in inside.

Remember the days when they could recall
Friends and family with no trouble at all
Rmember the love,the joy and the tears
Which you shared,together throughout the years
Now it`s gone,you can`t have it back
Dementia has begun its relentless attack.

Think of the families who struggle to cope
With a disease which offers so little hope
Think of their anguish and their pain
When recongnition has gone they try to explain
I am your husband; I am your wife
Together we once shared a wonderful life.

It`s hard to be patient,loving and kind
But its what they deserve, and what we must give
Each and every day,for as long as they live.

Thinking of the peeps that are going through this at the momemt,
Sending Love and Hugs to you.

That's a very moving poem R.B.
Christmas is always an evocative time and must be so sad not to be able to share the memories of Christmases gone by.
