It's Not My Fault
I sit in the dark
With a hat on my head
Wrapped in a blanket
I took off the bed
I do not know
The time of day
Have trouble saying
What I have to say
The change in season's
Confuses me so
I cry when it's raining
And because of the snow
Up off the chair
To wander and roam
Where am I going?
I never know
Suddenly I'm angry
And race down the hall
Nurse's assist me
Afraid I may fall
I can't always communicate
My head gets confused
Please try to understand
What I'm saying to you
Sometimes I may hit
And call you bad names
Other times I'm happy
And love to dance
I have no control
In what I say and do
I hope you still love me
The way I love you
I don't mean to hurt you
And cause any harm
Alzheimer's disease
has control of my mind
*~*~*~
Please pray that one day a
cure will be found for this
for this terrible disease!
