Forgetful Forties
Posted on: February 15, 2015
Most days start out with me walking into a room,
Only to forget why I entered there,
So I leave that room too soon.
I then shortly remember when I have actually left,
So I have to go back to get what was there that I kept.
My memory loss doesn’t stop there
As I misplace things everywhere.
Where did I put my keys today?
I thought I hung them up like the other day.
Only to find out that I left them in a pocket
Or in my jewellery box near my favourite locket per say;
My cellphone I too mislay on several occasions by the way.
This usually happens when my ringer I had shut off,
So it becomes a worry to find my phone
Before the batteries die and it will soon shut off.
This problem of forgetfulness not only happens at home
But even while shopping, so my anxiety sometimes has then grown.
It happens when I go to pay my bill,
Only to find out I can’t remember where
I put my bank card when I reach the till.
I guess I am not alone in being forgetful,
As I have had my friend lose her glasses
And they have become quite difficult to find,
For without them she is quite blind.
Sometimes they are found not too far away
Because sometimes they are left on her head
Like when she had last read,
As she did so just the other day;
It was embarrassing to her,
But quite funny to me I should say.
Remember the next time you become forgetful
You are not alone as this happens to the best of us
As our minds get preoccupied with all of what goes on today, with all the fuss.

the same good things for the first time.”
