Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A poem about dementia

Lost

by Sim Smailes

Dementia is the cruellest of foes,
Choosing its victims at random
It hides unseen, biding time;
Early signs are shrugged off,
Confusion brings fear,
Then detachment,
As loved ones
Fade from
View.
