Is This My Mother I See

Is this my mother i see. What was i doing yes i am aging Is this my mother i see Alas it is not It is me Where was i going I am forgetting Is this my mother i see Alas it is not It is me Why did i say that It has no meaning Is this my mother i see Alas it is not It is me When will it leave me No one is listening Is this my mother i see Alas it is not It is me For my mother who has Alzheimers.

I feel the same too. I woke up once still drosey and walked passed the mirror. I said " Hi Dad" it was a quick glace and after a good eye rub and as I began to brush me teeth I felt a cold shiver down me spine as I thought, I look like me dad the same way I remember him when I was small. DO DON'T HAVE Alzheimers
