DEMENTIA
It's hard when your parent can't remember
Your parent seems like they have surrender
You speak to your parent,and they don't understand
I guess you can say this was never planned
You sit with your parent and hold their hand
And you look in their eyes to try to make them understand
I guess I was never prepared
I'm so scared, but for my parent, I will always care
In the end, I will be lost without you
Each day I hope for some breakthrough
I have to remember never to lose my patience
She was my only parent, and she was always gracious
You will never have to face this disease alone
We together will fight these unknown
My promise is that I will always keep you safe
My love for you I will always embrace
Nothing will ever stand in our way
I know with our prayers everything will be okay
