Alzheimer's Poem by Daniel Bernard Kelleher

Alzheimer's

Rating: 5.0


I sit beside her
As I do every day
I speak as usual
She stares away

I show her photos
As I do every day
Shows no recognition
What else can I say

I tell her stories
As I do every day
Shows no understanding
Sad to see her this way

She's lost in a world
No one can explain
Watching her fading
I suppress my pain

She does not know me
No glimmer of hope
She shows no emotions
I feel I can not cope
