When I Can'T Remember You Poem by Marsha Youree

On the days that you forget me
If what they say is true,
That when it steals your memories
I'll still be loving you.

If what they say is true
You'll not perceive the strange,
I'll still be loving you
No matter what the change.

You'll not perceive the strange
When I've faded from your mind,
No matter what the change
When you leave your world behind.

When I've faded from your mind
In Alzheimers deadly grasp,
When you leave your world behind
My love remains steadfast.

In Alzheimers deadly grasp
That when it steals your memories
My love remains steadfast
On the days that you forget me.

My children, you will never know
just how it hurts me so,
To know that I will soon:
have to let you go.
For you see, the Lord is calling me,
up from Heaven High,
Wanting me to go
and be by his side
