Alzheimers

An ode to my grandma 

I can’t imagine what it feels like to forget 

Who I am,

My family,  

Even how to eat. 

Just have to memories melt away over time. 

I do know what it feels like to be forgotten by, 

A role model, 

Storyteller, 

And a frequent tea party attendant. 

Nannie, you have taught me how to 

Laugh, stay out of trouble, and how to live. 

Sometimes life isn’t fair 

I’ll never forget who you were

Before you lost the fight to Alzheimers
