Mum has dementia

Losing Mum bit by bit

I see you each time, more diminished than the last
Slowly, and bit by bit
You're folding into that feotal position
Is that how you came in you're going out?
Opaque cast across your eyes, not sure you see me anymore.
Maybe that's good for you would not recognize yourself!
How did such a slight woman that you are, give birth to two hulks of men?
Strong as we are, you break us
To see you lingering
We do our best in public, in the here and now
When in the private of our homes it cuts us most!
Dad had a hard exterior, but soft centered
You always the trousers
He doted up on you.
For two lads this year has gone fast and changed so much
But our world revolves around you now!
We will try to do our best for you
Each visit, is a conflict between duty and pain.
We wish you well and a swift passing.
Is it to ease our pain or yours, this is the conflict.
A woman of strength, pride you were everything to us, our Mum.
Your day's maybe short now in number
And we will always remember
Your golden days in the sun.
