Forget Alzheimer's Poem by S. I. Rednow

Good morning my dear, now please don't despair
I've kept to myself something now I must share

Cursed with this issue completing a thought
This chasm between what I wanted and got

All of my yesterdays will soon disappear
And image of family has faded each year

History the armor that's shielding your name
Yet somewhere within a fire burning the same

Remember the joy, forgive me this sorrow
I love you today but who knows tomorrow

After I'm gone I hope to leave you with pride
To sense that I'm near when I come along side

I want to express to you thoughts in my head
Before I'm repeating things already said

Good morning my dear, now please don't despair
I've kept to myself something now I must share
