Mama's Ghost

Every now and again she sweetly reminisces

Every now and again she feels afraid

Every now and again she slightly second guesses

The place she's in and the choices that she’s made

Every now and again she smiles when remembering

Every now and again she cries when she forgets

Every now and again her hands begin trembling

But she holds on knowing, it’s not over yet

For every now and again her memories come calling

Every now and again they sweep her away

Every now and again her mind, a blank drawing

After the words her Dr had to say

So, we hold on to those fragile pieces for her

Display them when she wants to hold them close

The goodbyes so quick, now they've become a blur

The day dementia conjured mama's ghost
