They Who Have Dementia
By Paul McCann
So just who are they , would anyone like to know .
If they asked you for help, would you say yes or no .
They don’t mean what they say , they don’t say what they mean ,
They’re neither here nor there ,they’re somewhere in between .
If you knew how to get there , tell me would you go ?
Then what if you went there and no one said hello .
They are not who they were not all that long ago .
They are who they are but not many people know .
Can you understand them , they’re so misunderstood .
If they could explain who they are , I think they would .
Part of them has disappeared , part of them is left .
Most of them can hear you speak , part of them is deaf .
They see with their emotions and touch what’s not there .
Things lying on the floor , people who seem to care .
They are taking over the aged population .
They are multi cultured and from every nation .
They have been seen and questioned and then diagnosed .
They are people with dementia that someone knows .
They are mothers , fathers , brothers , sisters and they’re
all living in dementia units everywhere .
