“Beating Heart”

by Norman McNamara

Beating heart, don’t be still
Just because, I am ill,
Tired eyes, weary legs,
…Find a cure, my heart begs,
Very tired of this venture,
In this fight with Dementia,
So much pain, so much sorrow,
Praying for a new tomorrow,
Until that day, a cure is found,
Let our hopes and dreams abound
So beating heart, don’t be still,
Just because I am ill

About The Author – Norman McNamara

Norman Mc Namara or ‘Norms’ as I’m known to my friends, I was born in Bolton, and now reside in Devon ‘United Kingdom’ where I live with my ‘Angel wife Elaine’ We have three grown up children, Eight Grandchildren, and a great grandson. I am 52 years old at the time of writing this. I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s two years ago which was a mighty blow on top of already having heart failure, but I’m a fighter and hope by writing this it will help loved ones and carer’s alike understand a little bit more about how a person with dementia sometimes feels.
