Get Rid Of The Advertisements

Hit Restore
 
if only I could hit restore
like I do on my computer
bring back the time when
his health was flawless

the time when he could
walk without falling most days
talk without a stutter or a grasp
for once remembered words

words said all his life
no longer making any
rhyme or reason, time or season
mean nothing to him now

my husband is slipping away
his frail hands held in mine
a tear drips down my face
as he flies away from me

an angel comes to take him home
I want to beg to let him stay

I want to hit restore
