I am in the Army

I
I am in the Army,
I served all over Europe,
I don't remember things much now,

My Brother went to Cathedral School,
My brother was a good singer.

I liked reading but i don't read now,

What are your hobbies I like reading,
I smile,

I listen and you will repeat but each time as you repeat I acknowledge you as if i haven't heard this from your before.

Your not barmy,
you deserve respect,
you served in the army.

A man who lives with Dementia.
I will smile, and hold your hand.
You will smile back and that feeling will last.

I will go with you and in your world and keep your feelings in tact.
I won't argue, there is no reason too.
Its excepting the chat,
That's in the now but I know its your past I will help you to connect to the feelings from the past NOW.

April Lewis ... Writing a poem in the moment. .. The feeling will be remembered.
