Alzheimer’s day

It was not a wish,
Nor to remind her of anything
When I called my mother to say
Today is Alzheimer’s day.

And all she said,
In voice that was low.
Oh!
Yes, I know!

For when you look at one ,
Some one you love
Struggle for words:
Those never come.

Then today becomes
A day for prayers
To become aware
Not grieve, nor celebrate.

(My mother is a lady of great and admirable courage who takes care of my father , cheerfully and lovingly)
