Forgetfulness is my new friend;
its frequent visits- I defend.
Quite unannounced, it comes and goes
to steer my mind into repose.
Although annoying- I must say
it makes me laugh in my dismay
of losing track of simple things
that fly away as if on wings.
A friend, I call it- since I know
it's part of aging and will show-
when brains are filled right to the top-
untangling thoughts come to a stop.
So when I'm frustrated that day
as it comes by and plans to stay-
I just relax and stay resigned,
and before long, my thoughts unwind.
But all in all, so far I'm blessed-
speak of forgetfulness in jest.
I'll keep on aging- best I can
to make the most of my life's plan.
