Alzheimer Creed

Don't you know I want to go home Not where I live now But where I lived long ago In the house, where as a child, I had grown Don't you see I am no longer me? Please look and see, there is a small child Here inside with me Look closely into my eyes, the innocence you will see For it no longer subsides Can you listen To all my questions And answer them with ease I know I keep repeating them But Please...be patient with me There are things that make me sad You really hurt my feelings When you scream and yell When your words are harsh When you look so mad Please remember it is not my fault That I no longer remember normal, daily routines Just take my hand and help me Together, we will get it done You and me Can you understand Part of me has gone It is lost inside my mind Hiding all my memories Sometimes if you're lucky You may catch a glimpse if only for a moment Please, just cherish it I need you to understand I have forgotten so much I wish I could remember Who you are and where you're from
