Their names?
My brain is really jelly
Kinda numb is how I feel
My parent’s future on my mind
Looks like time to take the wheel.
Dementia is so awfully cruel
It is impossible to understand
How parents become such toddlers
Needing such guiding hands
My sister has the mom gene
I have the tough dad one
She was the princess daughter
Me as the rebellious son.
How is it that our minds
Can fade away to black
A lifetime of memories
To never really get back
How is it that our minds
Can’t remember simple things
LIke 50 years of marriage
Wearing their wedding rings
How is it that our minds
Forgets the love we had
Spouses and children lost
How incredibly unbelievably sad.
I know how they will hate me
I know it will never be the same
I said I would be the bad cop
And that will be my name.
My only hope is in heaven
And there Jesus will explain
His plans and how he still loves us
While we can’t remember their names.
