Take one thought
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Transitory are memories engraved in me
Fruit for thought must recall this
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Written note to help remember this
Brief, brief memories engraved me
One thought, one note
Some stay, some don’t
Memories fall over the abyss
Like forgetting small childhood dreams
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Tossed lightly in soda streams
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Those sips were mine
Images decline
Memories fall over the abyss
Breakdown of my memory cells
Brief, brief memories engraved me
My Parkinson’s dwells
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Drugs do me a favour
Steer me through my days
Short term memory fades
I count his blessings from above
Brief, brief memories engraved me
Surrounded by my families love
Brief, brief memories engraved me
My wife, my life
Her love through life
Memories fall over the abyss
Memories fall over the abyss

Philip, I too liked the rhythm but also the poignancy of this - thank you. Wonderful.
