'In Case I Forget' A poem by Norms McNamara
In case i forget when glancing at you,
The one who makes me complete,
Dementia may have won my mind,
But my heart it will never Defeat.
In case i forget the children we've raised,
Or the hundreds of stories I've told,
Shed not a tear for blessed are we,
Who forgot one day, we are old.
In case i forget to tell you how much,
You're cherised and treasured each day,
My best friend beside me to brighten the path,
And carry me all of the way.
I may greet you someday, with questioning eyes,
As a stranger with whom I've just met,
Still, i love you my darling, with all of my heart,
Remember...... In case i forget.
