Just One More Day
Another journey through my thoughts
a hodgepodge of forget-me-nots
that seem to surface now and then
when melancholy strikes
It's a task I chose to do
something to see through
until the end she knows is coming,
a prospect she dislikes
Even tho' there's no recall
I know that she will miss it all
the children's laughter, hugs and smiles,
all those treasured moments time consumes
There are nights I simply sit and stare
fighting just how difficult it is to care
when nothing that I do makes sense
In these take a number waiting rooms
Meds and therapies, a package of false hope
day care aid to help me cope
my life I'd give for one more day
to have her whole and hear her say...
'Hi hon, what's on our menu for today?'
This is a personal plea for my partner, best friend and wife of 58 years who, while still alive, is gradually leaving me with no hope for recall. She has advanced Alzheimer's that we have been battling for 4 years. I know that she knows it's terminal.
