Now you are old Now you are old and grey and full of care And anxious before me, forgive this verse And put away the pain and grief you nurse To find the story that you need to share. Left lost for words and lonely in this place Forgetful of those happy days now gone Hand me your memory to sing your song And bring to peace your turmoil with glad grace. When I see your sweet smile break the surface Not just a backward glimpse of happiness But something to be thankful for and bless As, hanging on to love, it will suffice. (From ‘Lost for Words: Decline into Dementia)
