Why have you made face
Like Deadpan
You were so lively & strong
My Baby
Return Back to those times
When You were Carefree & Strong
It’s tough for me
to watch you struggle
to move & Play
Come Dance to the music
You will come out of all pain.
Mamma,
I too desire to break the barriers
But the deadly Alzheimer’s
has put me behind bars
I can’t stand music
It’s thud is ear-splitting
I can’t bear to stand.
