Old Age

Just a line to say I'm living, that I'm not among the dead.

Though I'm getting more forgetful, and all mixed up in the head.

I got used to my Arthritis, to my dentures I'm resign.

I can manage my Bifocals, but dear God I miss my mind.

When I stand at the foot of the stairs, I wonder if I must go up for something,

Or have I just come down from there?  And before the fridge so often,

My poor mind is filled with doubt, have I just put some food away?

Or have I come to take something out?  And there's a time, when it is dark,

I stop and hold my head.  I don't know if I'm retiring,

Or am I getting out of bed? 

So, if it is my turn to write to you, there's no need getting sore. 

I may think that I have written, and don't want to be a bore. 

So remember that I love you, and wish that you were near. 

But now it's nearly mail time, so must say "good-bye dear". 

Here I stand before the mailbox, with a face so very red. 

Instead of mailing you my letter, I went and opened it instead.
