This is a dedication to my husband who is having a hard time since I was recently diagnosed with early stage Alzhimer. He loves me so much and he is worried about that day when I get really bad and I may not know him.
Hugs, Nicole
Why are they tip toeing around this room I wonder who they are and what they want Sometimes they scare me with the needles I like that kind man that comes in and smiles I see something in his eyes that appear sad After a while, I let him hold my hand and sit He talks of people, telling me all about them Sometimes, I feel a stir in my mind about them Just a rose will do, I tell this man who came in I always love roses, but not sure how I know He doesn't seem to understand me; it's a rose Anyone knows what a rose is, it's that red thing He tried to kiss me but I turn my head everytime I don't know him enough for that lip stuff he wants A tear in his eyes like I always see as he leaves Something inside me breaks but not sure what All I want to do is call that man back to hold me I don't remember his name right now; I'm so tired I close my eyes and everything turns cloudy white Next person I see is Jesus welcoming me home I remember it all now, goodbye precious husband
