Motherly Loving

My Mother tries to so nurture

Her Partner who has dementia,

She has to have some patience

With his madness perseverance

Of being sadly mentally insane –

Causing my Mother much pain.

He moves things everywhere

And does stare and also glare.

 

He wants to get out and about

And has to be duly locked in,

He can scream and also shout

With a verbal bout at dear Kin.

My Mother still loves him so

But her love does not so grow.
