She's Not There Anymore
A Poem About Dementia from a Granddaughter's Point of View
SHE'S NOT THERE ANYMORE
She's not there anymore
she thinks Mr. Jones still lives next door
She's not there anymore
Her life was rich and now it's poor
She's not there anymore
Doctors tried but there is no cure
She's not there anymore
Everyday feels like a chore
She's not there anymore
Thinks she's still in the war
You're not here anymore
Expecting granddad to walk through the door
You're not here anymore
But we all know you still love us for sure
You're not here anymore
In the same room with the same decor
You're not here anymore
But You'll remember me i am sure
You're not here anymore
But you're still my nan forevermore
This poem was inspired my nan, who suffers from dementia.
