I Forgot To Remember

I didn't write a poem for September,
I forgot to remember.
I didn't plant seeds for Christmas flowers,
I forgot to remember.
I didn't feel the pain as I usually do,
I forgot to remember.
I didn't think about the sadness of life,
I forgot to remember.
I haven't got Dementia or Alzheimer's,
I simply forgot to remember.
I didn't realize what safeguards I have,
I never forget what my savior does for me, 
I remember His dying love has set me free.

This may mean nothing to you,
But it does to me.
