Orange and blue
When life fades from the ones we love
We are left alone in another world
Unable to bring back that familiar smile
The fondest memories are just a dark hole
Of a distant past
Age creeps upon us all
As we fight just to survive
But the oldest, most vulnerable
Have the hardest time trying to understand
What is happening to them
As dementia attacks from within
They vaguely recognize us
They are mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles
After spending their life caring for us
As the tables turn, we seek answers
The questions never end
Solutions never appear
As we try to comfort them
They slip away slowly
We see it in their eyes
The sadness, confusion
They are so tired
Ready to give up, ready to go
We look for a miracle
To give them one last chance
But life moves too fast
And before we know it
We will be next
Beautiful ❤️
