I Will Remember That!

Goldfinch60



As we get older things change,

Those things that we used to do

Get harder in time.

Physicality drifts away

As strength leaves our body.

Mentally things change

Where the mind struggles.

And then we lie to ourselves,

As we often say:

“I’ve no need to write that down,

I will remember it!”

    Good write Gold.
    On a different aspect, if things worry us, it can be good to write them down. Then we've got them 'out' of our mind, as it were, though we still may have to deal with the things.

      Thanks Orchi.

      Yes very true writing things down does help with our mind.

        You remembered it? In a comedy film, a couple join the Foreign Legion 'to forget'. But then they forgot what they came there to forget!

            lol
            so true, i get so annoyed
            when I walk into a room
            and forget my chain of thought
            (oh btw Andy
            your video is down for some reason)

            • Goldfinch60

              Yes that often happens Mek.

              Yes but it can be picked up on YouTube.

              There's no shame in writing things down or making lists....I do that all the time!! Christina

              • Goldfinch60

                Very true Christina.

                I can relate to every line of this poem dear friend. I've approached memory loss with a bit of paranoia, in that I write everything down, my kitchen counter is often a sea of post-it notes. Perhaps one day I won't really care if I forget. Good write!

                • Goldfinch60

                  We always remember the most important things though Bella.
