Dementia Or Old Age

If I could keep my thoughts together, life would be so much better! Thoughts must flow like a river or stream With no obstacles in between. They say dementia starts very slow, with certain Patterns that we should know. However, is it dementia that we go through? That we forget What we are supposed to do! Or is it that we close our minds to the things we are afraid to find? So many questions can stop this flow And by seeing these obstacles, the decisions we will know. I feel the flow of thoughts on its way! (I just forgot what I was going to say) ha ha dementia! Once the obstacle is found, you either remove it or go around. Your chain of thought is starting to get momentum Like a train on its track – now look forward, do not look back! (Ooops forgot what I was going to say) Oh, yes! Is it old age ramblings or dementia? I guess you will have to answer that! I did not look forward – I looked back! Ha ha – enjoy your mind – because we will lose it with time!

WOW! This is good. I have known a few people that have suffered from dementia and it was sad to watch them. Some times I wonder - if it is best not to remember. That way we don't have to deal with the everyday problems in life. Thanks for sharing and many blessings... Lucilla
