PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY MIND

Dedicated to those who battle with Alzheimer's....

 

Every day its something new To contemplate or fear... Forgetting things she's always known So often starts the tears. Memories are what she holds Most dear within her heart. But sometimes now she cannot seem To find the place they start. Confusion shrouds her days and nights... She wanders aimlessly, And tries to hide herself from view So others will not see. Dear Lord, she prays, be merciful To family and friends. Please...take my life but not my mind... Before my journey ends. ***

A debilitating disease indeed and one that requires so much help and attention of the patient. You raise a great awareness to this condition. Excellent...:).................

Thank you so much Sami for your generous and kind review. I lost my Mom to this disease and it is so difficult to watch your parent come to the place where she does not know who you are. That was the most difficult thing I had ever lived through at that time. ~Sharon
