We find hardships and joys in things we do and say
Life is a miracle, a wonderful journey every day
It is easy to understand our life is so magnificent
But what about Alzheimer's patients with minds deficient
For at one time they were the same as we today are
Now find their mind short-circuited with a scare
Can we ever hear them say
Life is a wonderful journey every day
The joy of today they will remember not
It is just another joy to be forgot
But the rising sun tomorrow will bring more
There will be many precious moments in store
So it makes no difference if today's joys are gone
For tomorrow can be a repeat of this same song
If we take time for their tired mind to understand
We will know that every moment can be grand
With an understanding smile or a touch of our hand
When we see them smile
We know it is worthwhile
For at the end of the day
They can silently say
Life is a wonderful journey every day
