A Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Lose

Help me, please, I've lost my mind,
It ran away today.
I don't know how to get it back,
I sure hope its okay.

I've searched and searched to no avail.
Wherever can it be?
I know I had it late last night,
Before I went to sleep.

When I awoke this morning,
I knew something was amiss.
I couldn't think a single thought.
I felt like such a ditz.

My day was filled with chaos,
No decision could I make.
Without my mind I was so lost,
It was more than I could take.

A mind is something you don't want to lose,
I'm telling you it ain't no fun!
Luckily mine came trotting back,
Right after the setting sun.

This is an excellent post and poem, my sister of God's grace, Kim. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. The descriptive excellence is lovely. The theme great, and tenor move the piece along with much grace. Great job! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53812816-sincerely-speaking-spiritually.
