GHOST IN THE FLESH

Alzheimer’s is stealing my mother’s soul away
Day by day her personality evaporates
Her soul is stifled by plaque
Zombie with blank eyes
Her quirks are disappearing but her body goes on
I miss her antics, always looking for a reason to laugh
Twinkle in the eye
A heart attack would have been easier, sadly
Boom. She would make the transition
Instead, she has had to suffer through fear and anger of a minuscule enemy
No army can win a war against it
Its tiny prongs twist away her memories
At least she can still smile
But it makes me cry

Increase Alzheimer Research Money!
