Memory of me

With eyesight failing and hair turning grey
memories seem to be fading away.

In my younger years I was nimble and quick
but now I am bent over and walk with a stick.

Sitting and thinking about my life that has past
wondering how long I have left how long will I last

No one to talk to I feel all alone
I don't even get a call on the phone.

When I am ready and my time comes at last 
any memories of me will fade into the past.
