I have Alzheimer’s, but just the same,
Kenny Dale Lauer is still my name
I may not remember who you are,
But I know your special, at least so far.
I cannot Speak, no words come out.
But if I could I think I’d Shout.
Sometimes I’m Sad, and shed a tear,
Sometimes its, scary and lots of fear,
Sometimes I smile when you stop by,
Even if it’s just to say hi.
I worked at Fairbanks, this I know
But, don’t you all? I do think so.
It is hard to swallow when I try to eat.
But good ‘ol ice cream is still a treat.
I drool a lot and make a mess
It’s part of this crazy disease I guess.
I wear pull ups, and I hate clothes,
and what I’m thinking, no one knows.
All the nurses and helpers too,
Know exactly what to do,
I love my Teddy and Teddy loves me,
I am still a person, and God Bless Me.

A Very Good Day

Fighting our battles with confusion each day,
Routines are established to keep befuddlement at bay.
We watch for stress and avoid mental fatigue,
harmonious striving to make mind and body agree.
We can still make decisions and want to interact
With those called normal; but it’s a balancing act.
Simple is much better and less is okay –
Our motto for having a very, good day.
