Description
The author of this prayer is unknown; it is a comfort to those who have the disease and for their loved ones.
Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion,
Forgiveness for my irrationality,
And the strength to walk with me
Into the mist of memory my world has become.
Please let them take my hand and stay awhile
Even though I seem unaware of their presence.
Help them to know how their strength and loving care
Will drift slowly into the days to come
Just when I need it most.
Let them know when I don’t recognize them
That I will . . . I will.
Keep their hearts from sorrow for me
For my sorrow when it comes only lasts a moment ~ then it’s gone.
And finally please let them know
How very much their visits mean,
How, even through this relentless mystery,
I can still feel the love.
Amen
