It was a wonderful day,
My lover was back.
Her bubble of dementia
Became hole ridden for the day.
She still spent much time
Within her bubble,
But the woman I love
Spent more time with me.
These days are so rare
Why can’t there be more?
But this was a wonderful day.

A fine write Gold. Hope there will be more days, and healing, even in things where it's said 'There's no cure for that'.
Meanwhile - it was a wonderful day. Then I came along and sang, and ruined it. Oh why did I have to turn up?! heehee.
Thanks Orchi, even your singing could not have ruined that day.
To live through Orchi's singing it must have been wonderful indeed. Here's to many more of them.
Thank you Michael, I do hope so.
Andy,
Two gems...your poem and the musical clip! Absolutely brilliant. I envisioned you and your wife as the couple in the video. This is the best read and visual of the day! Iām thrilled for you! Hopefully thereāll be more magic moments like the one youāve enjoyed! Do you film the moments when āHer bubble of dementiaā becomes āhole ridden for the day.ā?
~Laura~
Thank you Laura. I do not film them but I do write about them - they are special.
Youāre very welcome!
...and yes, they are very special!
Thanks ANDY ~ love DELIUS ~ Melancholy & Melodious but never Mournful ~ beautiful ! I even put Classic FM on standby while I listened to it @ 9pm ! I can empathise with your poem vicariously because I have Friends whose partners have Alzheimers and some times I go and sit with the Man so his spouse can have a break. We have a conversation of sorts but it is heartbreaking because some of them were intellectuals ~ now it is all on hold ~ till they get to GLORY ~ AMEN You know You and your Beloved are on my Prayer List and it is a Blessing when others (Like LAWLESS) say they are remembering you both ~ at "The Throne of Grace" AMEN. I thank GOD for the many committed Christians on MPS it is a lovely site ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
Thank you Brian, you are so kind.
and you are blessed my friend,have another wonderful day
Thank you ron, most kind.
Of course I know EXACTLY what you mean Andy! It's great when the "he's back" moments arrive.... yesterday he was a comedy act making everyone laugh even if all the words weren't there... we had fun..
That is wonderful Lorna, we can laugh at many things especially ourselves.
Well he teaches me how to............
