The passing years has wiped most of his memory <br />As well as leaving him looking weary, old and gray <br />But his ageing wife she lovingly cares for him <br />And she tells him that she loves him every day. <br /> <br />Although he doesn't seem to recognize her <br />And his memory like a wildflower in decay <br />His children and grandchildren to him strangers <br />And who are you to them he often say. <br /> <br />And yet her love for him not any lesser <br />He is her soul mate the love of her life <br />And he loved her as a man should love his woman <br />And to him she remains his devoted wife. <br /> <br />'Tis true indeed that love transcends all barriers <br />She loves him as she loved him years ago <br />Yet to him she does seem a complete stranger <br />The one he loved he does not even know. <br /> <br />He is fading quickly his end for him is nearing <br />And the clock on his life is beginning to tick fast <br />But she loves him now as she has loved him always <br />And she will love him till he breathes his last.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-transcends-all-barriers/
