MOTHER OF ALZHEIMER’S

Who birthed (unearthed)
This unwelcome invasion,
Or gave it the right
To hijack each occasion
Meant to endure and assure her
She’s loved. She belongs.
It ceaselessly wrongs her,
Assassinates her senses;
Condenses her being
To fleeting moments,
Thought amputation,
Self dislocation,
And few kin.
And it will win.

Hi Marie Elena, it’s Sara v, I started a new blog because there was a lot of sadness lately. I see I’m not alone. My mother-in-law just passed away. She’d had Alzheimer’s for 10 years, you captured it perfectly I your prose. Hugs to you ❤
Hi Sara! I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. It is such a cruel disease. 😦 Our writer friend Janice (J.Lynn Sheridan) has a blog you would be able to relate to and appreciate: https://theslowforget.wordpress.com/. Her mother battles Alzheimer’s as well.
I’m happy to be following your new blog, Sara!
Thank you Marie ❤
Beautiful, Marie! A poignant expression of the mixture of emotions (anger, frustration, hopelessness…) one feels when dealing with this sad, and all too common, illness. ❤
Thank you, PSC. Hugs to you!
Creative take on a sad reality!
Thank you. ❤
I like the well expressed poem. Of course there is little to like about the sad situation it describes.
Thank you very much, Sheryl.
