Question: Think of this Acrostic while you can!?
A condition not unlike death
Leaving those in it's grasp, a shell
Zeroing in on our most precious memories!.
Having it's way with personalities
Eager to erase the real us!.
If only a cure could be found
Many could escape this second death!.
Even retain a semblance of normalcy, perhaps even

Truly the work of a poet!Www@QuestionHome@Com

They are working very hard to cure or prevent this terrible disease!. You say it is a "condition not unlike death!." In my opinion, it is worse, since someone always remains in there, but cannot communicate with the outside!. At least, in death, there is hope for life afterwards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As a nurse I see this awful disease daily, and I have lost two wonderful aunts to this killer of mind and body!. I know that eventually a cure will be found, research is ongoing!.
My heart goes out to all who are affected !.
Thanks for your excellent poem, and its message!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

AWW I love it!. It should be on a medical pamplet for Alzheimer's!.

My friends mother had that!. Someone had to watch her 24/7 because she would wander out into the street!. Everything you say in the poem is true to what happens to someone with the disease!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That really says it all!.
It is as if someone takes an eraser & does away with the memories of our lives, a little here, a little there, until we're just a shell, no past, no present, no future!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I fear that happening to me, that is why I am trying to create as many happy memories now, in case it is all I have later!.

Cheers and thanks for a wonderful effort Semper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
