"Hounding Incessantly or "HI", alheimers

Others think our life is normal – well, it is not-

We get through the day giving it everything we’ve got!

He is frustrated, unhappy & he lets me know it all day-

It is through this game that we continuously play!

It starts with his complaining all day long-

Where would I be if the Lord did not keep me strong?

Nothing is right no matter what we do-

Whatever we do he is always in a stew!

I call it incessant hounding- he wants me to make things right-

But try as I may it just ends up in a fight.

Find it, fix it, do this for me right now-

As for me – I try but I don’t know how?

All day long it goes on day after day-

I truly don’t know what makes me stay!

Except when we married I did make a vow-

For better or worse, in sickness & health – I’ll honor it now.

Alzheimers, poems, Suspicions

If I’m on the computer – that is a bad thing-

He needs to be my only focus – because he is king!

If I am reading- he says I”m wasting my time-

Because he can no longer make out a rhyme.

When I’m talking on the phone -he stands ever so near-

Listening to every word – he needs everything to hear.

If I’m cooking our dinner- he wants to know why?

Am I fixing for someone else – now that makes me sigh!

When I’m paying bills he is right by my side-

What am I doing? What am I trying to hide?

The only thing that is OK with him for me to do?

Watch T.V., stay put & don’t do anything new!

 

Silence

Alzheimers, poems, Slience

He sits & stares & doesn’t say a word-

Not even so much as would a tiny bird!

Silently, he sits, sometimes with a pout-

I just want to hold him & tell him not to doubt.

Oftentimes when he is in a strange place

-He seems only to recall his Dad’s familiar face.

He will talk about being a boy & going fishin’-

Always with his beloved Dad – on a fun mission!

He gives his Dad credit when it is Gary who deserves it-

Credit for running, losing weight & keeping fit!

His memories sometimes silence him, perhaps out of fear-

Would someone make fun of these things he holds dear?

 

The Silent Army

Alzheimers, poems, The Silent Army

We are quietly committed & oh so very true-

FIghting for our mates who no longer know what to do.

We are serving the helpless who can hardly think-

Finding ourselves as their only worldly link.

We protect & assist, always being at their side-

Standing beside them with help, always to provide.

We hunker down each night keeping all secure-

Awaking as there is a need to procure.

Our ammunition is prayer, yes, it always works-

Yes, I’ve tried everything else & they are all quirks!

The Lord is there with His plan in sight-

We just need to trust Him to finish our fight!

Prayer – the Power of!!!!

Alzheimers, poems, Prayer-the Power of

When you are spent & there is no relief in sight-

Look to the Lord for He has great might!

Cry out to the Lord just ask for solutions-

Get out of a life that is full of pollutions!

God answers prayer according to His will-

If you just take a moment to listen & be still!

God will bring you into His plan through your prayer-

He will change your heart & you’ll know He’s there!

Great prayers are born out of crisis or missions-

He knows your needs – He does not need your permission!

If you feel empty, frustrated in need of life with a new lease-

Refresh with prayer & inherit His strength & peace!
