Alzheimer

She smiles

She sits smiling in a corner
with erasing memories
Memories sliping away
She tries marking a face
She smiles anyway

A warrior she has been
all wars forgotten
wins and losses erased
with no gameplan for a change
She smiles

She sits smiling in a corner
She forgets her previous moments
But seems to imitate
imitate her childhood maybe
She throws tantrums and
She smiles

A mother she has been
all duties and responsibilities fading
she becomes her own grand-daughter
Confused
repeating herself
She smiles

Warrior may be not
but brave she is
defying death
her immediate adversary
She smiles

You have it in you. Keep on writing. You have the ability to make people stop, may be a while, and ponder on your lines.
