The Sweetest Man
The sweetest person that one could know,
Until the time his mind did slow.
Alzheimer's Disease, that's the name;
The thing that took my Dad away.
I cried, and cried and was in denial,
His mind was fading all the meanwhile.
Becoming a parent was the hardest part,
Telling him what to do, and where to start.
His mind was fading, he was leaving me now;
Everyday a little more, he forgot how.
He had forgotten his family, and his kids,
He forgot all the things that he once did.
No more talking about the houses he had built;
His mind was far away, but there was no guilt.
I had to care for him like I would a small child,
Knowing that my heart would be empty in a while.
Missing him more as the days went by,
His mind faded away and I would just cry.
I prayed for him, in his life, God to restore-
But God knew what was best, He knows the score.
His heavenly home was waiting I know,
He made preparations, couple of years ago.
To God the Father, he did go,
When he left this Old World below.
His mind was fading all the meanwhile.
