FORGOT

 

I walked to the next room

And stood feeling gloom

For what I sought

I forgot

Empty and lost

Cruelly verified by mirror images at me tossed

I defiantly stood refusing to concede

Until finally remembering indeed

Filled with fear of an Alzheimer’s fate

I trembled at that thought that I hate

“It’s normal”, they all say

“It happened to me just today”

Comforted for a moment

With empathetic sentiment

Until out of a store later I plot

To find my car in the parking lot

  1. That happen to me when dating my wife. I took her to a hockey game in the middle of winter and forgot the parking number. She laughed it off being young, but doubtful I would get the same response after 10 years of marriage.

  2. Abby says she thought you forgot her library books this morning, but it turned out mom put them in the wrong book bag.

    Emma sometimes forgets where her “Skittles” toy bear is, and she feels worried.
