Fate’s Foul Ways
Blurred flashbacks,
hid in sepia stacks.
Pensive, I let out a weary sigh.
Unshed tears of despair cloud my myopic eye.
I brood; "Strangers they are or a stranger am I?"
I fail to recall the bygone days.
My mind's a muddled haze.
Fate's foul ways!

Author's note:
Many times, patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, fail to recognize their own kith and kin. It’s a sad fact that their own family and friends seem like strangers to them. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms of this malady.
