覚えに超える　ー　Alzheimer'sの詩 覚えに超える （Alzheimer'sの詩） 十時の働く後、一人でうてんしました 身近街で、見慣れた 突然、正しい方向が忘れた うにょく地図を見つけった 仕事で正し言葉を逃げた 進歩報告を説明するに失敗しました お偉方は、「あんたは混乱した」でも違いました 私を原資く非難する、無力ですが ソファに「Maze Runner]を読みました ああ、この種類が大好き でも最初手がかりはいつも忘れた 最後に降参しました 道で遊んでいる孫を見かけた 私を支配しなくて金切り声あげました しかしその人は私じゃない 私は温和人、フィルムの鬼じゃない あなたの声を聞こえるでも難しい付属していましした 心が流れ出して、後で戻ってくる 。。。 （まだ仕上げの段階です。手伝ってください。） English Version: More Than A Memory (A poem about Alzheimer’s) After ten hours of work, I’m driving alone Down the familiar road I’ve grown along. Suddenly forgot the right turn to arrive home, Luckily I found the map that my son had drawn. Back at work, the right words have escaped me. My progress report I’ve failed to explicate. They said I look confused, but I’m not. Because of incompetency, I was criticized a lot. Sitting on my couch, reading the Maze Runner. Oh, this kind of read I used to like. But the first clue I always seem to forget And so I’ve surrendered at last. I saw my grandchildren playing near the street, I couldn’t help myself but to rant and scream. But this is not me, I whispered to myself, I am a gentle man, not an ogre in a film. I hear you but it’s hard to stay connected. My mind’s been drifting away to later come back again. This situation I can’t seem to mend. I’m happy I still have my family and friends. My son’s name I have failed to remember; The lyrics of my favorite song I struggled to provide. I am so depressed but these hardships I can still withstand, But what part of me is still bona fide? The tune of my favorite song is still inside my head. I kept humming so I will not forget That there’s only a flickering flame to illuminate The past buried in the ephemeral shadows. Tomorrow’s still to be written But the past was already forgotten. The only time for me is now, It’s a new beginning, every time. It’s really a hard time, but it’s not that bad; Even though these treasured memories are being torn apart. I said to them, don’t you worry, don’t be sad. Let’s just make new ones today even it won’t last. --------------
