ALZHEIMERS PRAYER

Dear Lord I know you're busy and I hate to bother you

With all the problems in the world you have so much to do

Yet I remember when I was a child being taught about your love

How you died to set me free and left your throne above

Now my body's aging and my mind's starting to go

People say I'm senile and forget things I should know

My family's trying to get me to leave my home and friends

They say they know what's best for me and how this disease will end

Lord would you please give them wisdom to discern

The leading of your spirit and patience as they learn

All the changes that will happen at this stage in life

Please let them work together and not end up in strife

As my mind continues to slowly slip away

There will be times I know I won't remember how to pray

No matter how my mind ends up please let my spirit live

Give my family all the strength they'll need to survive

Grant to them your perfect peace give them all sweet rest

Let them know I'm safe at last as you hold me in your breast    Amen
