Analysis of The Darkest Fog



The fog was getting closer and
My mother knew that it
Brought darkness that kills memories
And life would slowly quit!

Of those who go into the fog,
Dementia will take all
Of life just like Alzheimer does
When fear and anger call!

Pray for the ones who lose so much
And pray for loved ones too.
For some the darkest fog will come;
Please do all you can do!
