In the hands of a child she struggles to speak

In the hands of a child she falls to her feet

and weeps

In the hands of a child she struggles to her feet

In the hand of a child she struggles to speak

In the hands of a child she struggles to sleep

In the hands of a child she begins to weep

In the hands of a child she she struggles to speak

In the hands of a child she leaves

In the hands of a child she slips away in to a sleep

In the hands of a child she leaves.

In the hands of a child she's a prisoner to her body

In the hands of a child she fights for her life

in the hands of a child she slowly dies

A/N um yeah, I got the inspiration for this from my neighbour who recently died, she had dementia and I thought it would be interesting to consider things from her view.
