I'M Losing Ground

Lord I awoke this morning forgot who I was a man held my hand said dont worry love. He's my husband yet I run in fear. thought my feet were on soild ground lost my balance fell down. more and more each day I'm losing ground. to be able to remember the smallest things. afraid to wake-up, Afraid to fall asleep. Every step I take I take in defeat. No justice for the old. no glory for the weak. I awoke this morning forgot how to speak. tumbling, tumbling in a hell called depression. I'm losing ground with my sanity. I'm losing ground I need peace. family says I've lost my mind in my old age. haven't lost my mind just lost sight of me. I;m losing ground God help me.
