<\/a>Alzheimer\u2019s Poem: Do Not Ask Me to Remember<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Do not ask me to remember<\/h3>\n
Do not ask me to remember,<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t try to make me understand,<\/p>\n
Let me rest and know you\u2019re with me,<\/p>\n
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m confused beyond your concept,<\/p>\n
I am sad and sick and lost.<\/p>\n
All I know is that I need you<\/p>\n
To be with me at all cost.<\/p>\n
Do not lose your patience with me,<\/p>\n
Do not scold or curse or cry.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t help the way I\u2019m acting,<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t be different though I try.<\/p>\n
Just remember that I need you,<\/p>\n
That the best of me is gone,<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t fail to stand beside me,<\/p>\n
Love me \u2019til my life is done.<\/p>\n
