A delicate balance
There does seem to be
Between what she sees
And reality
The doctor did give
A pill that sure gave
My wife hallucinations
And sure made her rave
About things that she heard
And things that she saw
That really weren’t there
And all I did was compare
I went through this before
With my grandmother, she
Had similar things occur
Now it is happening again,you see
The last past few days
Have been for all of us you see
A trip yes through hell
Oh but mostly you see
It has been for my wife
A journey that she’d rather not take
And the rest of us home
We just did try to make
Yes make her as comfortable
As comfortable as could be
But it has not been very easy
Yes easy to see
How much crying she did
And asks why she must go through
All of the hallucinations
That she has been through
Oh my friends, please do take
A few minutes to say
That the doctors do find
Yes do find a way
To help her be better
So that she can become
The good mother and wife
That the last few days has become
A person afraid of everything that she sees
Yes please do say a prayer
And please say one for me
That I can help her through this
And that it won’t make me
Feel that I can not cope
With caring for she
She constantly begs
That I won’t put her in
A mental hospital because
She says she would just not go in
But imagine how hard
It is to see and feel you
Are just not able to help
No matter what that you do
