Do not set me aside just yet.. (Alzheimer's steals her away)

Keep me close...do not set me aside just yet.. let the glow in your eyes let me know i am someone you love, my name may not be within your minds reach, but please let it recognize your tenderness for me...

if You are more than concerned, angry, show me; it means you are alive inside yet, moved by your surroundings, by people even though, those thoughts will soon leave you, to be replaced by more significant events to you.

circumstances that now guide your life, a meal, a visit, an activity, your medications so simple, yet to you, now so very important...

my precious mother, i am your daughter.. its alright if you do not remember, for i do,
even when the glow dissipates, i will whisper to you, Mama, i am here i will recall your tenderness, and we will will share..

we will share our love, we will share our memories i will never set you aside my dear mother...never
