Short Term Memory Loss   Ears of sweet corn on the kitchen counter, empty pot burning on the stove; you, seated at the dinner table, enjoying ice cream.     Alzheimer's (Holding On)   I dreamed about you last night, as you were yesterday, standing in the bathroom, afraid to get in the shower. I helped you undress, then, together, we stepped in, hand holding hand, faces lifted up to the water, toes digging into the tiled floor, to keep you from disappearing down the frightening, silvery drain.           Alzheimer's Poems Memory Loss and Holding On Copyright © March, 2011 by Linda C Straub All rights reserved Send private comments to author:  lindacstraub@aol.com More Alzheimer's Poems here Read the Poem Of Every So Often at https://www.artvilla.com
