Alzheimer’s Fears Every morning I wake up Fearful I might develop the dreaded Alzheimer’s That cruel disease Of the mind Took my Mother From me At age 85 And my father-in-law Also, at age 85 Their minds Destroyed Lost in the Alzheimer’s fog Trapped in their Memories Lost in inner space As the disease progressed Turning them into Little more Than vegetables. As they rapidly Descended Into their final Moments. As the disease Ravaged their minds And bodies. Not knowing Where they were Beyond our grasp. So, every day I do what I can. I read, I write I exercise I eat right. I study Korean I play the piano I go for a walk I cherish each moment I have left. With the love Of my wife By my side. Letting the fear Of the dreaded Alzheimer’s fade away. not today I vow to myself Looking at my wife Smiling at me. It is all going Be Alright I tell myself. I Miss My Dad (E) Flashlights, peanut butter and playing cards all remind me of him. #1004701 by (476) I can relate to this poem, because I lost my mother to Alzhimer’s at age 85 and my father-in-law as well. Read, review and write about your experience or lack thereof with Alzheimer's disease. |
