Victimized Soul
Childhood thoughts begin to
surface
Wrinkles reveal an aged soul
Tried and tempted through
the years
Weathered by all life’s
experiences
Memories escape of days gone
by
Barely remembering a given
name
A friendly face soon
forgotten
Crippled by a malicious
disease
What was once a vital life
Now a shell of its former
self
Feeble minded but body
strong
A family’s anguish is great
The simplest of tasks now
difficult
Unable to survive in the
world
Sheltered within sanitary
walls
Protected from harm and pain
Altziemers does not
discriminate
Damages all it touches
Leaving a plethora of
victims in its wake
Tears the only solace
Soon death will come
Easing the pain of existence
The victimized soul rests
Family finally at peace
Ps. I love you Baba - Annie Fedikow Nov 19 1921 - June 18 2013
This is dedicated to all the families touched by the horrors and trauma of this wretched disease. May you find peace and hope.
