Alzhiemer's Poem
Do not ask me to remember.
Do not try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you're with me.
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept.
I am sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you to be with me at all cost
Do not lose your patience with me.
Do not scold or curse my cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting.
Can't be different tho I try.
Just remember that I need you.
That the best of me is gone.
Please don't fail to stand beside me.
Love me till my life is done.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
