Don'T Forget

Don’t Forget When my journey nears its final stage And my memory is not clear Do not fret or ever forget How much I loved you dear. I may forget your name or face And I may say words unkind, So please forgive me when I do For my memory has declined. Still in my heart I feel a tug of a small boys little hand, As we sat upon the sunny beach and made castles in the sand. And then I hear the giggles Of three sisters full of energy; Each one a little different, but still loved so much by me. . Once in a while I get a peek Of the way things use to be, And wish that I could turn back time And remember my family. Now my journey’s near its final stage And God say’s it’s time to go. So please promise me that when I’m gone You won’t forget I loved you so…

Exquisite and heart-rending. Sadness experienced by many of us--declining mental faculties of an elderly beloved one.

This was a tough one to read. Very well written -- it's not that...but I have that illness in my family. I'm 73, and, though I always try to look at the bright side of life, I would be lying if I didn't say that it was always in the back of my mind. Excellent poetry. A Fav....
