I’m not,
In my golden,
Years,
Of old age,
The disease,
I have,
Is the most,
Common,
Type,
Of dementia,
Though,
There are three,
Stages,
Early,
Symptoms,
Middle-stage,
Symptoms,
And later,
Symptoms,
In this,
Golden,
World,
It feels,
Like,
I’m the sun,
Watching,
Memories,
Of another time,
I forget,
About conversations,
I’ve just,
Had,
I forget,
The names,
Of places,
And misplace,
Items in the house,
I ask questions,
Repetitively,
I have trouble,
Thinking,
About the right words,
To say,
I find it hard,
To make decisions,
And I’m hesitant,
To try new,
Things,
I can,
Also,
Become,
Agitated,
And anxious,
More frequently,
I also,
Become,
More confused,
At things,
This is,
All the early symptoms,
The doctors,
Say,
It will,
Eventually,
Get worse,
They told me,
I could,
Experience,
Hallucinations,
And delusions,
I may be violent,
Towards,
My family,
Or even carers,
If I have to,
Go into,
A home,
They say,
I might,
Become suspicious,
For example,
I may think,
My family,
Is stealing money,
From me,
When that’s not,
True,
They say,
I might not,
Be able,
To look after,
Myself,
With eating,
And drinking,
I might not be,
Able to walk,
Or talk the same,
I can pee,
Myself,
As well,
By accident,
And my,
Long and short,
Term memory,
Will start to fade,
Away,
I’m lucky,
I’m still,
In this early stage,
I’m afraid,
Of the worst,
But for now,
I will enjoy,
Basking,
In this golden,
Glow,
Remembering,
Happy times,
As well,
As taking,
The medicine,
The doctors,
Gave me,
Though they did,
Suggest,
That therapy,
May be an option,
For when,
The symptoms,
Get worse,
They also,
Suggested,
Making a memory,
Book,
Or a photo,
Album,
That I can,
Look back,
On,
When the days,
Are long,
And I’m stuck,
Inside,
Alone,
And for,
When this golden,
Sun,
Finally,
Losses it’s glow,
I’ll be able,
To look,
At those memories,
One last time
