Dementia came calling again today and broke my heart
What happened tore out my heart and soul and tears they did start
I love to help our grandson with yr 11 English assignments
Not that he can’t do it just needs some little refinements
Banter back and forth until all mistakes are made right
I will write, he will say , uhm, no not quite
We both then laughed as only our strong bond could show
His latest assignment proved too much even with me going slow
With a crushing blow realisation set in that dementia had robbed me of a love and a bond
A bond so strong that my soul was ripped out knowing from our school work we did abscond
Tears rolling down my cheeks, never have I felt so helpless, full of despair that dementia has robbed me of such love between my grandson and me
