Poem About Caring For A Parent With Alzheimer's

This is a true story told to me by a friend about a time she visited her mother in a nursing home where her mother lived. She said it was the worst feeling in the world to have to live through. It was so heartbreaking that I couldn't forget it. At the time she told it, all I could do was cry.

A Lost Memory

She lovingly handles
her mother with care
as she washes and curls
and fixes her hair.

They laugh and talk
the hours away.
Then out of the blue,
her mother did say,

"You're so nice.
Now what is your name?"
