Mirrors of Memories
I know I am suppose to call my daughter
I know things have been slipping my mind
I know I hate this feeling
I know this is the best I am going to be
I know I have Alzheimer's
I know I am in my house
I know my phone is on my dresser
I know it's next to our family picture
I know every smiling face
I know that will fade over time
I know that's me in the mirror
I know as I stare into my own eyes
I know... everything has changed
I know I will become a burden to my family
I know feeling sorry for myself doesn't help
I know a river of tears won't wash this away
I know there is nothing that will change the outcome
I know I won't know when I don't know
I know as I pick up my phone
I know I am suppose to call, I am suppose to call...
