Like a Thief in the Night

You come and took her memory awayHer thoughts...Life a Thief in the Night.
You didn't care that has a husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to share her brilliant mind with, you just took it.
Like a Thief in the night.
Now she sits and tries to have a conversation --getting lost in the middle of it and then just gives up.
She sits and stares blankly as if she is lost in a maze, not knowing her next turn.
Frozen in time.
Just sitting there with a blank look on her face with nothing to say.
You have given her that ability..but then I don't want to give you credit for nothing...
You are a Thief in the Night
You have taken her ability to know who her family and friends are.
You have made her suspicious of everyone that comes into her home.
You have taken so much.
You have taken her ability to argue with me.
You took that like a Thief in the Night.
I want to be mad.
I want to scream.
And then I realize I really don't want to be mad or scream...I just want a cure to be found.
So that you, this dreaded, awful disease can no longer be a Thief in the Night.
