How wonderful is that? I write poetry for my wife who has Alzheimer's and is in a care home. Sure wish I could add the music. She loves to listen to the musicians who come into the home to entertain. And how wonderful is that? Music might just be God's greatest gift to humankind.

Thank you for such powerful words. My Mom is living with Alzheimer's. She was diagnosed about 7 years ago.
Thank you ever so much for writing that song. My Sister has Dementia. I have been telling her I Love You.
Love this…. My mom went to her Heavenly home May 22, 2014 after battling dementia for many years. It is a terrible thing to watch your loved one suffering from this
My mom just passed Feb 3rd this year. She no longer knew who I was and who she was. I have missed her so much. This song touches my heart. Thank you.
