SEEING
EYE`S
As the party started, I sat and watch with glee,
...The children running round, it’s clear for all to see,
That in their little world, a world so full of fun,
Excitement in their eyes, of a future still to come,
The way they look at life, through excited eyes,
Never worrying about tomorrow, today is where it lies,
We can learn so much from them, learn from day today,
That it’s now that really matters, whatever comes our way,
My dementia is invisible; they don’t see what grownups see,
They just see their grandad, as happy as can be,
If only all us grownups, could do the very same,
Just see the person stood there, without dementia`s name,
Best wishes, Norrms and family xxxxxxxxxx

SILENT
VOICE`S
Silent voices shouting everywhere
Silent, yet still rising through the air,
Eyes that look but do not see,
Beating heart inside of me,
Forever wanting their life back,
No more wandering this lonely track,
To talk, to laugh, be understood,
To live their lives as they should,
One year there, next year gone,
Like the setting of the sun,
The Dementia Demon comes along,
Takes away your favourite song,
I have all this yet to come,
Vacant stare, body numb,
But to the end and from the start,
Place your hand around my heart,
Feel it beat inside of me,
Look in my eyes and you will see,
Happy scenes without a tear,
And my silent voice you will hearTHIS IS BEAUTIFUL NORM,,,
WE LOVE YOU IN LOS ANGELES
