MEMORY THIEF

Stored in available space, Events, innocence couldn't face "Your attitude is awful! I've had enough of you today." .....Daddy God, please Make all the sad words, go away Access denied You never grieved You never cried The Earth is fresh Grave is dug Never mess With your empty mug ....leave it all behind "Sit down before I bust your butt" Humanity has left a rut Baby bottoms blistered red With rage...ancestors fed The tide is too high I'm gonna die Just make it fast No one wants suffering to last ....past the ability to grieve Written by Trudy Schrader on 07-20-2024

your poem is heartbreaking on so many levels Trudy, living with or having contact with someone with dementia/Alzheimer's/ memory loss is so hard to bare and you grief long before they have passed for the person they once were. hugs Jan xx
