Truth About Alzheimer's

Memories slipping
Through frail
and shaking hands

Angry outbursts
A fiery temper
No move loving talks

Remembering
is too difficult, so now
Staying stuck in the past

That begins to overlap
With the present
Adding more confusion

What's a family to do
With a loved one
Unable to remember them?

Bringing the dead
Back to life
Only for them to die once again?

It comes and goes
Like the memories that it
Hides in the process

Some say it's just a disease
But they're wrong
It's so much worse

It's a daughter's very soul
Shredded to pieces
Seeing her mother fade

A granddaughter's tears
Unable to break free as
She pretends to be strong

A grandson's heart
Torn into pieces
The focus of his gram's anger

That's the truth
The painful truth
About Alzheimer's
