THE VOICE OF ALZHEIMER'S & DEMENTIA

I AM AT YOUR MERCY...

DO NOT ASK ME TO REMEMBER.

PLEASE DON'T TRY TO MAKE ME UNDERSTAND.

LET ME REST AND KNOW YOU'RE WITH ME.

KISS MY CHEEK AND HOLD MY HAND.

I'M CONFUSED BEYOND YOUR CONCEPT.

I'M SAD AND SICK AND LOST.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I NEED YOU

TO BE WITH ME AT ALL COST.

DO NOT LOSE YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME.

DO NOT SCOLD OR CURSE OR CRY.

I CAN'T HELP THE WAY I'M ACTING,

I CAN'T BE DIFFERENT THOUGHT I TRY.

JUST REMEMBER THAT I NEED YOU,

THAT THE BEST OF ME IS GONE.

DON'T FAIL TO STAND BESIDE ME,

AND PLEASE LOVE ME 'TIL MY LIFE IS DONE.

Thank you!

Phyl
