Old and Forgetful by Tracy (Aged 13)
An entry in the Alzheimer Hero Day Campaign ...
I once was a little girl,
Full of wit and woe.
Bringing joy and fun,
Everywhere I'd go.
But oh! How times have changed,
Now I'm old and forgetful.
I wake each morning.
I know I'm worse today than the day before.
The day, the week or ... maybe it's December.
My age now it's against me.
I'm getting old and weary.
But I thank God for the life I have had,
And glad he is near me.
