Just Another Day With Alzheimers Poem by Katherine Perry

Another day and another year
But tell me when yesterday was
For I've started to forget
So I'm left with this fear
I do not know what tomorrow does

I am now thinking but cannot say
And my words do not say what I mean
So here I am with another day
Now some things are not what they seem

I will talk about things familiar to me
But lately I cannot remember what's what
So I try hard to go with the things I see
Then finding myself lost in a rut

Someone please tell me a story from long ago
Just one, then maybe I'll start to remember
Maybe a reminder of the seeds I've sown
Then making me feel like a winner

By the way, what is today
And do I care with what it brings
For there is only one way that I can say
That will come to me when I sing

Now the sun is gone
As the night moves on as I stare at the lights
so bright
Then over and over again, I wonder what I did
wrong
While amazed at the beauty in the sky's night

No more wishing on a falling star
And no more dreams coming true
For everything to me is way too far
Left with thoughts that make me feel blue

As I wander the streets not familiar to me
I will pray for one more time
To someday be with God and see what he can see
Before my mind runs out of time

Oh dear God, I have forgotten even you
But somehow my heart still shows me the way
Then to try and remember all the things I cannot do
But with you, I know everything will come back to me
someday!
