I think I know you
Dedicated to all those who have battled Alzheimer’s and the family members that
stood by their side. Love you, Dad!
You are
smiling You
look familiar
I am so happy to see
you You must be a
friend
I think I know you
You listen to me
I like the sound of your
voice You respond to
what I say
I feel so lonely, but
somehow I think I know
you
I’m going to get out of here
I want you to know that I’ve tried my
best I don’t know what you mean
Where do I live?
I think I know you
Where have you
been? I need my
things
I know you can help
me What have I done
wrong? I think I know
you
You reach out to me
Your freckles look like mine
Are you my nurse, daughter, my
wife? I want to protect you
I think I know you
I hold your hand
I smile back at you
You may be a
stranger
I am scared and all
alone I think I know
you
I want you to bring me
things Will you bring me a
toothbrush? Can I have some
money?
Where do I live?
I think I know you
I want to talk to you
Why can’t I say the words?
Maybe I will have pie for
dessert
Where is my room? Can you tell
me? I think I know you
You listen
carefully You
seem concerned I
tell you I am
lonely I want to
go home
I think I know you
You kiss me
goodbye You give
me a hug
Can you help me find my tennis
shoes? I know you can help me
I think I know you
You walk down the
hall It’s time to go
I watch you walk away
I smile at you but inside I am
sad I think I know you
I wish I could remember your
name You look familiar
I am so happy to see
you You must be a
friend
I think I know you
I see a lady standing next to
me I ask her to dance
She dances with
me Who are
you?
I think I know
you Or maybe I
don’t.
