PLEASE HELP ME

By GCW

Mom was diagnosed about six weeks ago and it has been a roller coaster ride since then. To see her so confused, depressed and tired really upsets me because I can't do a thing to help her except sit and hold her hand and comfort her. My poem says what I think she feels. I dedicate my poem to my best friend -- My Mom.

PLEASE HELP ME

"Please help me I'm lost"
She cries out in vane.
"I'm confused, messed up
It's causing me pain."

I'm here but I'm not here
I see but can't think.
I walk and I talk strange
I'm going to sink.

It's grey and it's dark now
Help me, I plead.
Alzheimer's holds me
God's hand I need.

He'll lead me to Heaven
The place I'll be free.
The light shines so brightly
At last I am me.
