"Loving You"

The sun is low in the heavens above The sky is close to all blue I sit here alone, looking out to sea My mind filled with thoughts of you I let the sand pour through my fingers Just like your hair used to do When you an I sat together On those days of long, long, ago But you and I are still together If anything my love has grown As I look in your eyes so puzzled They appear to be in the unknown Alzheimer's, the name they gave it Came like a thief in the night Bit by bit stole your memory Now we fight it with all of our might I can tell when your memory is working You look at me with a childs guile I know the remembrance is there As we look at each other and smile I thank God for the strength he gives me To fight the problems we share I will tell you each day that I love you And for you, I will always be there Michael Christopher Daly
