An Alzheimers Patient's Journey
Lyrics
Title- The Sweet By And By
male vocal
she's there in her bed
a hospital kind
the children close by
in her own living room
daily life that had been
disrupted
well known tasks she could
no longer do
golden years so sorely
upended
there'd been stages
she's had to go through
her children have watched
without options
Alzheimers' reach was
as far as the moon
holding pieces and parts
of their mother's heart
whose reality grip
had grown weakened and loose
this morning her challenges
were her sad table spread
but I saw a flower in bloom
she was my bride
and I was her groom
I too was in the room
I was beaming with pride
just off to the side
with my angel in full view
she asked for her brush
and hand mirror too
knowing what she wanted to do
have me watch her care
to look her very best
for the trip she was taking soon
the children would stay
love her while she'd be away
I was there loving her too
we met eye to eye
by her sad table spread
and I saw a flower in bloom
she was my bride
and I was her groom
going to take her sweet hand
as was clearly our due
and she'd join me in heaven
this man and the best woman ever
in the sweet by and by
heaven's fountain of youth
