Alzhimer's Disease
Son, my mind is now full of holes
So I moved the memories to my heart
Locked them here and lost the key
To treasure them before they part
Hold my hand just like we used to
This time you tell the stories to me
Please remember how I've loved you
In cherished moments that used to be
One day soon I won't remember
It will be impossible to comprehend
I won't be able to recall your name
Know if you are foe or my best friend
They say I'll get angry without reason
In a long, dark fog where I can't see
Alzheimer's disease is a cruel robber
A thief that steals all memory from me
Quickly son, my best days are over
A cloak of confusion visits everyday
I can't find the words to express it
Behind these tears so much to say
I met a nice man early this morning
He was a most kind and patient lad
When he left he gently kissed me
Said, "See you tonight, I love you dad,"
