Dreaming

A Poem by Joshthewriter
"

my grandfather has Alzheimer's disease and I had a dream a few nights ago. In my dream he was cured of this terrible brain-cell eating disease.

"
Dreaming
I had a dream about you last night
I had a dream that you were back to normal
You remembered me
You talked to me

You knew who I was
My name
My age
My relationship to you

You knew me as your grandson
You could walk
You could show emotion
You knew you loved me

You didn't hallucinate
You didn't have that blank stare in your eyes
You remembered your life before
You were not in a wheel chair

You weren't in a nursing home
You weren't mumbling nonsense
You weren't reliant on nurses
You weren't sickly skinny

You were working
You were laughing
You were happy
You were the you that  I have always know
