Alzheimers Prayer

Dear Lord I know you're busy and I hate to bother you With all the problems in the world you have so much to do I remember when I was a child being taught about your love How you died to set me free and left your throne above Now my body's aging and my mind's starting to go People say I'm senile and forget things I should know My family's trying to get me to leave my home and friends They say they know what's best for me and how this all will end Lord would you please give them wisdom to discern The leading of your spirit and patience as they learn All the changes that will happen at this stage of life Please let them work together and not end up in strife As my mind continues to slowly slip away There will be times I know I won't remember how to pray No matter how my mind ends up let my spirit be alive Give my family all the strength they'll need to survive Grant them Lord your perfect peace and give them all sweet rest Let them know I'm safe at last as you hold me in your breast - Amen
