Mess In Time

alzhiemers Poem for my father

Mess in time

I always miss our
messing time
They were among my
best of times
Filled with brain teasing
perception games
and by the way
“ Jim's" not
my given name

Giggling while we dressed
your thinning hair
'till napping soundly
in your rocking chair


I LOVE YOU DADDY!
