A Song For Amy

Amy was a good person she lived a moral life
To her children a good mother and to her late husband a good wife
Everyone who knew of her said a pleasure for to meet
Kind of heart and compassionate she was one without conceit

In her twilight years she lost her gift of memory though she lived to die old
The Amy's of the World their stories should be told
In her final years her family she could not recognize
Of how sad this must have been for them only they could realize

Those who lose the gift of memory of thought become bereft
Though living they are dead to friends and relatives life is all that they have left
Her family and all of her friends were strangers in Amy's eyes
This is what happens in the human mind when the gift of memory dies

When she realized her memory was fading and she was not thinking clear
The darkness engulfing her mind must have caused her grief and fear
On her last years without memory she had a vacant stare
And of people and her surroundings she did not seem aware.

This is a song for Amy who lost her gift of memory
She was a lovely lady for some how sad life can be
Near the end of her life journey even her nearest and dearest she did not know
And sadly those who lose their gift of memory do lose their inner glow.
