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

I am a retired high school English teacher who loves photographing nature with wild birds as my main interest. I live in southwestern Louisiana and enjoy the plethora of wildlife and waterfowl indigenous to the area; I also love landscape shots of the swamplands and marshes and wetlands of our state. I try to do all this for the greater honor and glory of God who is the Creator of this beauty in abundance. I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you. God bless! Bonnie
