I wander round the house,
Wander like a lost sheep,
She is not there.
I am not lonely in the house,
So much to do and enjoy,
But she is not there.
I meet with friends for coffee,
Talking meaningfully,
But she is not there.
I cook my meals each day,
Enjoy their wonderful flavours,
But she is not there.
I go and see her regularly,
In the home where she lives,
But she is not there.
She sits there at the table,
The staff caring for her,
But she is not there.
Every time I visit her
She is there in body,
But in her mind
She is not there.
