I've got a new best friend
Evidently she lived a life of sin
I wrote a poem of a former venture she was on
It turned into her first day at the nursing home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today she was sad and lost
She had misplaced her purse
Let go of her life at such a cost
~~~~~~~~~~~
She was wandering round
Asking the nurses and administrators for help
In a state of panic, searching for the lost-n-found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took her to the cafeteria

Where we were doing crafts
Hoping I could change the channel of her mind
Panic would pass
~~~~~~~
She told me of the hardships she has lived thru
How she resided in her car for years
Now it was wrecked and she had
No one to live with she knew
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She told me her plan was to leave this hotel
Right before dark
Sneak back in and sleep in a closet
As quiet as a lark
~~~~~~~~
I told her I happen to know
The manager of this hotel
They'll give you a room if
You'll be part of the show
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should have seen the smile on her face
Oh Yes, she is
A woman of grace
~~~~~~~~~
She told me Thanks
My name is June
I told her she is my new best friend
I will come see you soon
Then I wheeled her in chair to her room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/27/2015~ Today I found out June is now in a four star hotel called heaven. I sure will miss you June~~~~~~~~~~
Alzheimer's can be scary and happy in just a blink of an eye.
