In old age their memories fade And the once familiar things evade Their minds can slip and their thoughts can stray And we as loved ones can seem far away . Their memories that were once clear Now become muddled and unclear. It is so hard to see someone we love Struggle with things they once knew of But if we can hold their hand and be there to guide Then we can both cherish the moments they still have inside Though their minds may not be whole Their spirit will still shine and brighten your soul So let’s love and care for them with all our might And be there with them through day and night.
