"Alzheimer’s Prayer
Please grant my visitors tolerance
for my confusion,
Forgiveness for my irrationality
and the strength
To walk with me into the mist of memory
My world has become.
Please let them take my hand and stay awhile,
Even though I seem unaware of their presence.
Help them to know how their strength
And loving care will drift slowly
Into the days to come just when I need it most.
Let them know when I don’t recognize them
That I will. . . I will.
Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me,
For my sorrow, when it comes,
Only lasts a moment, then it’s gone.
And finally, please let them know,
How very much their visits mean,
How even through this relentless mystery,
I can still feel their love."
