"There Has Never Been a Bank That Will Give Out a Loan Based On The Collateral of Hope"

I decided to anther one from the CD I own with his poems on them, at first I was confused because on the CD none of Shane Koyczan's poems have music to them, which I like because I get a feel for the words rather than the music. However, the person who made this video decided to put a piano opening and through the poem. This is personally one of my favorite poems by him and to have someone put a piano to it really bothers me. This poem is about someone who has Alzheimer's and he doesn't remember that his wife has passed away and confused his daughter for her wife. The daughter plays along, which is why is she wearing her mother's wedding ring. The poem is heart wrenching to think that someone has to go through this, but to think that love could be so strong to pt yourself through this just to ensure that they are happy and at piece.
