MEMORY LIGHT
At night I long
For you to hold me tight
To once again
Feel safe in your arms
As I did on our wedding night.
No one can feel my pain
I try and try
To explain
But in my heart
I feel alone
I feel it is all in vain
As how can anyone understand
The depth of this loss
This pain.
I hold so tight to the memories
Of our days gone by
To remind me of the
Love and loss
I cannot hide.
I cry in to my pillow
In the silence of the night
To remember,
To pray,
You hold your memory light.
I come to you in your new home
Stories of you singing, dancing, laughing
You are not alone,
This makes my heart rejoice.
Your light is still there for me
As your eyes catch mine
My love
As you rush to me
For a hug
I am so blessed
For your remaining light
As now you hold me tight
Time stands still
As once again
We are as one.
I see where others
Have lost their memory light,
Stare straight through
Their loved ones hopeful smiles,
Hands held so tight,
In loved ones heartbreak
You are lost
In a world where the light has dimmed
No room for your sweet
Memory light
Of those you once held tight.
I fear your loved ones cry for you,
As I do
In silence
At night.
Dementia is an enemy
That we cannot yet fight
We pray for a cure
To ignite the memory light
And for you
To once again shine so bright.
To the husbands and wives
To the sons and the daughters
To all family members
I feel your plight!
You are not alone,
Don’t cry tonight.
Now instead of feeling sad at night
I think of you
And your memory light
My heart feels better
As where I once was
Now caring “Angels” hold you tight.
With love each day
They will continue to guide
Your memory light.
