Cindy Smiles

Cindy Smiles (#EndAlz)



She has Alzheimer's that's taken over her brain
In some ways unfortunately, she'll never be the same
Some days are tough and such a mental strain
Most days you try to survive and hide all the pain

But when Cindy smiles, I know it'll be a better day
When Cindy smiles, I see the woman the disease took away
Some days my anxiety is up and I worry if she's okay
Then when Cindy smiles, I know we will win today

It means she's not sick or feeling agitated or annoyed
When Cindy smiles, it's one less thing Alzheimer's destroyed
She no longer remembers me or remembers my name
But when Cindy smiles, I say there's my favorite Cindy again

It sucks that Alzheimer's has no cure for her and all the others
Because we deserve to have our fathers, wives and mothers
Sadly one day this will all come to an end for her and her brain
And the memories of Cindy's smiles will be all that remains
