To Alzheimer, with Love

He has often looked back on life
And smiled his way forward

Suddenly the mist and fog surrounds the way
Can't look back, can only grope his way forward

Hear can he, the giggles and moans around
Can't but see the golden past behind

He now has to crawl and grope his way somehow
Oh! dear Alzheimer you are his new love now

You have engulfed him like a lover does to beloved
And he can't move his steps back now

You will make him forget everything, everyone
You two will be together with none

You have hugged him as he groped his way
He will now move ahead holding your hand forver his way

He has lost his soul to you
One day it will resurrect too

I give you his hand, Oh! dear Alzheimer
Atleast you be his lover forever

Give him all the love you can
Make him forget what he so far can't

With care you please lay him with your hands in his grave
He looks beautiful in sleep, give him a kiss before you leave his grave

Oh! dear Alzheimer I give his hand to you, give him love, take his care
Atleast you be his, so that he resurrects one day

Like in true love
When the soul is both destroyed and resurrected.

Dear Alzheimer made me forget what I was about to write... :)

On a more serious note, only an imagination as vivid as yours can personify something as dreaded as Alzheimer's so beautifully...
