It was an illness that robbed us
It was an illness that alienated her
From “us”
The illness dimmed her sharp mind
Little by little
It confused her
We knew her
She did not know “us”
Anymore
She did not recognize “us”
Photos, files, prints
Of her youth
Seemed to surpass her
Still one smile
Enabled, encouraged
Us to galvanise
Our heart, our support
To keep her where she belongs
At home
“Us” to galvanise
