I must say this is a moving and skilled write. metaphors so touching for dementia - thoughts as light as rain. Metre and rhyme without loss of gentle flowing content. Did you deliberately choose to move between iambic and trochee verse for pathos? A poem to be proud of.

Everything definitely ends one way or another, reminiscing what we used to be with loved ones in younger days are memories worth cherishing! It lightens up our life when loneliness strikes. A 10.
