Mary's husband in a carehome resides,

There due to lockdown ,unvisited,does hide.

Suffering dementia,the past he has lost,

"Every day I don't see him,comes at a cost.

 

He has been my husband for 50 years,

For his mental health I have grave fears.

My husband needs contact with the one he has loved,

Sectioned and secluded into a care home he's been shuved.

 

In dementia you lose memories every single day,

And you don't make new ones on the way.

Who's that wearing a mask?

My husband might ask.

 

If he died and I didn't get to see him,

Life in the future would be devastating and grim.

 Suffering a seven month visiting ban ,

I ask,when will I get to see my man ?"
