Just a not to say I'm living
that I'm not among the dead.
Though I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
I got used to my arthritis,
to my dentures i'm resigned.
I can manage my bifocals
but gosh,I miss my mind!
For sometimes,I can't remember
when I stand at the foot of the stairs,
if I must go up for something
or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
my poor mind is filled with doubt.
Have I just put food away
or have I come to take some out?
So,if it's my turn to write you
there's no need for getting sore;
I may think that I have written
and don't want to be a bore.
Just remember that I love you
and wish that you were near.
Now it's nearly mail time
so I must say goodby,my dear.
Here I stand beside the mail box
with a face so very red!
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I have opened it instead!
With everything that's been going on for the last few months...I guess you could say,I've had my share of "seniors moments".LOL,but all kidding aside,I love my seniors.
