I don't remember, <br />Where has it gone? <br />Did the wind whistle in and take it? <br />Did you see it? <br /> <br />What time did you say? <br />I am never that age! <br />You're wrong, he will come back to me. <br />I am cooking his favourite tonight. <br /> <br />It's like the egg timer thing <br />All those little grains of sand <br />are slipping from my hand <br />I try to catch them, but end up losing more. <br /> <br />My daughter! Where? <br />You? <br />No way! <br />One of us is really losing the plot! <br /> <br />The teacher told me, <br />And daddy always makes sure... <br />And i drink all my milk. <br />I want my mammy!<br /><br />Angharad Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dementia-mother/
