Remind Me

By Trish Hubschman

Day 18

Remind me of the things I forget

Because I can’t remember all.

Birthdays I do, ages I don’t,

though I do try to recall.

Remind me of the time and date,

And I’ll remember what we have that day,

Where we should be, not so much when,

Whether we should be out or stay.

Remind me where I put things down ,

Because I’ll go nuts trying to locate,

My shoes, a pen, and other things.

I’ll be lost in a frantic state.

I have a file cabinet in my head,

But I’m sure it’s on overload.

I’m trying to remember everything

And my mind is ready to explode.
