It came like a robber in
the night
memory loss
confusion and not
knowing what's next
on the menu.

She loves him in spite
of the pain
knowing the way he was

a man for all families
raised eight children they did
the farm not prosperous, but
fulfilling

family pets, chickens to chase
hay to cut and the joy
of caring for little ones
now grown into that same
caring, watching dad

in the middle of the room
head bent, words from his lips
are prayers for his
young ones

time for bed, he suddenly
shouts and they lead him to his
room where dreams
will spend the night, and
his children are little once again.
