Time Passes By
Days, months, years, forever pass us by,
Mostly all, in the blink of an eye,
As time goes on, remembering gets hard,
With every passing Birthday card,
So imagine this, if you can,
You begin to lose your daily plan,
You can't remember, those years past,
Or even how long today will last,
Every minute may seem like an hour,
All your memories, unclear and dour,
Yet some months, fly so fast,
Sometimes wanting them to last,
Dementia's reign is so confusing,
Never knowing what the next day brings,
To finish all tasks, is it such a crime?
So much to do, so little time,
So many things left unsaid,
A million thoughts rush through your head,
Places to go people to see
Across many lands and over the sea,
And yet, always deep within your mind,
Is the face of one so kind,
Someone, who's there, to hold your hand,
To travel with you into an unknown land,
Always there to share and care,
With great advice and opinion fair,
So LET THE DAYS and years pass by,
With a great big smile, and a VICTORY CRY,
For so many less fortunate people around,
Who live with dementia without a sound,
Remember them, one and all,
And hope Dementia, never comes to call
Norm as a child
Thank you Norm, for sharing your words with us.
