Faded petals tend
To echo a mind’s decline
Both lost to time’s thief


The author's comments:

This poem revolves around time being stolen from those we love due to dementia. The decaying flower petals symbolize that although the flower is still there, the beauty of it is gone. Similarly, the person we once can still be here, but the beauty in their personality is gone due to dementia.
