Even though he forgets so fast
Even though he needs help dressing
Even though he asks the same questions
I cling to his hand.
With my only sister so very ill
And so far away
With the virus pinning us to home
He holds me while I cry
ready with words of love
Even though he rereads the same article to me
Even though he doesn’t remember where we live
Or where we lived before
Even though he is my main work each day
He’s company while I am sad,
A warm flannel shoulder
To catch my tears
