"A Poem for Bob" I can tell you who won the 1938 World Series, who the short stop was, how many innings the game went... I can tell you my mother's maiden name and how she touched my face when I cried as a child... I can tell you when television was invented and the make of our family's first automobile... If only I knew...who am I?

I can tell you the date Pearl Harbor was bombed... I can tell you when John F. Kennedy was president... I can tell you who sang Jailhouse Rock in the 50's... If only I knew ... who am I?

I can remember who Glen Miller was... I can remember getting to see 2 feature length movies and a newsreel at the local movie theater... I can tell you the name of the theater... If only I knew...who am I?

I can remember my favorite teachers name in school when I was in the second grade... I can remember Annie, although I don't know who she is... I can remember so many things from so long ago... If only I knew...who am I?

I know the lady with the laughing eyes and low voice cares for me... I know she makes sure I am cared for, with loving touches and a soothing smile... I know that I can't remember her name, but sometimes I do remember love... If only I knew...who am I?

I know that I don't like mayonnaise or chicken... I know that I love chocolate chip cookies, will eat them till they are all gone if someone would only let me... I know the cookie lady loves me, but I don't remember her name... If only I knew...who am I?

I don't remember last month, last week, last night... I don't remember that I shaved myself this morning... I don't remember the last time I ate or what the meal was... I don't remember if this is April or October...

But for one lucid moment, I remembered who I am... I am Alzheimer's...
