There was a time when I was free
To live my life in harmony
Before the illness which blighted me
Swept faces and places from my memory
Remember me as I used to be
Think of me, remember my smile
The love we shared, linger a while
I am at peace now, I am me
At rest for all eternity

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
