Times in
life remembered
They
seem to disappear
A note
for a reminder
Message
isn't clear
I wonder
what is happening
Within
my mind today
I write
with all instructions
But
confusion finds it's way
It seems
like only yesterday
My mind
was fresh and clear
The
journey I remembered
It seems
to disappear
So now I
jot down daily
And read
the words I've said
Sometimes I can't remember
The
word's not in my head
I slip
away in darkness
I sometimes know you're there
But if I
can't remember
Please
always know I care
A touch
you give I know I feel
The hug
received is now revealed
I see
your face but I don't know
If
you're the one I'm letting go.
For
those suffering with
Alzheimer's Disease
and for
their caretakers.
