May I Always Remember

being possessed by thoughts of healing myself, apparitions of fear line the walls and floors; and I am left… haunted phantom of the night, hear my plea- cease the pain; a plague crept and I am left breathless trying to hold onto memories I pray one day I don’t forget- my mind can’t recall yesterday’s joy, nor will embrace tomorrow’s woe because it won’t be remembered -it’s complicated - I’m frustrated - feeling weak - mind can’t speak- worry encompasses leaving me in the dark; and I am left… haunted please Lord help me hold onto these precious moments how can I breathe knowing one day... I may not recognize him *I am haunted one day I will get dementia* September 19, 2019 Tania Kitchin

This is a wonderful poem... it is something to be haunted by for sure. It would be such a sad ending to life. Bless you always. I'm glad you won

thank you- I have been having short term memory problems and it is scaring me and my family. The fear of knowing one day I may not recognize my family is awful. I think medication side effect (or the mold lol) but I have to be on the med forever, so let's just pray it's all part of turning 40 ha...thank you sweet Caren :)-luloo
