Why was she taken from me?
Our love was so strong
Nothing will ever break it,
But she was taken,
Taken twice.
That first time where her mind,
Her mind was given dementia,
So she could not remember
Or do things for herself.
My love was so strong
I did it all for her,
Did it all with love.
The love that has never failed
For that wonderful lady,
That wonderful lady in my life,
That wonderful lady who was my wife.
That second time she was taken
Was a release for us both.
As her Spirit left her body
She smiled down on me,
I watched her Spirit,
And I smiled at her
Knowing that a new normality
Had become her way of life.
She was back as herself,
That wonderful woman
Who I love so much,
Not that dementia riddled paraphrase,
Paraphrase of herself.
She was there,
There waiting for me
And I will be with her soon
As life on earth is so short,
Only a blink of an eye.
So I will be with her
As we travel together,
Our Spirit and our hearts
As one,
Travelling the highway of immortality.
