ALZHEIMER’S KISS Yesterday my mother kissed me. Her soft, dry lips Pressed against my cheek tenderly. I couldn’t recall her last kiss. I must have been A child, aged maybe five or six. She’s now the child who needs care. Sitting alone In that nursing home’s big green chair. From a strong family matriarch She’s fallen to Alzheimer’s, a mind in the dark. And amid all her confusion I hope she knew It was me, not some illusion, Who helped her walk, who held her hand, Who listened while She struggled so to understand. Yesterday my mother kissed me. I think she knew The person she was kissing was me. Copyright 2002

I was browsing the den reading and saw this title...it caught my eye, my mother cares for a dear friend of our family who has alzheimer's disease...I often pray for the family for this is such a terrible disease. Your words are beautifully spoken and with so much love and passion for your mother. Beautiful tribute...I am anxious to read more of your work.
Blessings,

This is so loving and sweet, I'm sure she knew, and even if she didn't know it was you, she knew she is loved.
