Analysis of Alzheimer's
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
He walked through summer
And his hands shook
With Parkinson's disease.
She watched him
And she tried for the life in her
To remember his name
It was like it was his first time
Touching grass through her sweet glossy old eyes.
Every new word of poetry they made
Was like butterflies.
