Alzheimers, Christmas Now

I try to keep holidaze the way they used to be-
But it’s just not the same between you and me.
I love the outdoor lights but it’s a lot for me to do-
All the sparkles & glitter make it Christmas for us two!
The tree decorating has always been fun for both of us-
If ornaments are on top of ornaments-no, we don’t make a fuss!
I usually do the wrapping & buy my own gift too-
I always act surprised- oh foo, oh foo, oh foo!
Now I shop for Christmas, with my shadow ever so near-
He moves ever so slowly lost in the crowd I fear!
We go to dinner parties & he tries to converse at the table-
But often his manners, do indeed, belong in a horses stable!
I bake the candy & cookies, that is usually my fate-
Now they get crushed & nibbled & put back on the plate!
With the family we belong, they accept us both as is-
The season is the reason, we are blessed by our Lord – we are HIS!!

Alzheimers, Trapped

I now live in cell #604-
Been there going on year # 4!
Why am I here-the fault is not mine-
All prisoners say that in their prime!!
Of course I have privileges in the yard-
Only if with me I take my guard!
We go to the doctor, CVS & the store-
No, we really don’t do much more!
I was sentenced about 10 years ago-
But only recently to my cell I did go!
Will I try to make an appeal?
Don’t think so, this is my fate & it’s real!
I cannot turn the tables on my guard-
Because for him to think is now very hard.
In heaven we’ll meet as our former selves-
Renewing our happy days -like joyful elves!
Just which one of us will get there first?
Only the Lord knows- but today I’m about to burst!!
