It seemed I had lost you for a while
watched you hold a strangers hand
that was mine
searching for a spark
in dementia's darkness
Now somehow, i have you back
free from pain
happy and safe
smiling
in the silver light
Back in my memory, my minds eye
in every Robin's song
in the sun on seagulls wings
and the scent of freesias
I have you back
Until, one day
you will hold me again
safe, like a child
forever smiling
in the silver light

My Mum had just died, I think its wonderful and it helped me cope at the time.
