Do You Remember Me?

A Father with Alzheimer's

 

The greatest computer ever made

Cannot match the brains complexity

Holding decades of information

Yet Im not sure you remember me

 

All those childhood memories I cherish

All those stories, sitting on your knee

Gaining wisdom from your tales of life

But Daddy, do you remember me?

 

Some days your spry eyes are bright and clear

Other times they are dull and cloudy

But will you know who I am today?

Your daughter do you remember me?

 

My heart breaks to pieces when I see you

Check your bracelet for your identity

But its like a knife thrust to my heart

When you dont even remember me

 

I need to look deep within myself

To see my egocentricity

Because it hurts to see you so lost

Yet I cry when you dont remember me

 

Whether its a good day or bad day

I hope that youll be able to see

That I will love you no matter what

Even if you dont remember me
