Don't want to be a burden On family or friend, Have cared for those, advanced stage, Right up until THEIR end. 'Twas easier for me though, Their young life, I knew not, So did accept them as they were, Didn't know, what they forgot. Though when it does get closer, Not even 'family' Quite difficult it is t'accept Whene'er the person's ME. When I can recall years gone by, As if 'twas yesterday, Instruction giv'n, too soon, gone, Know SOMETHING's gone awry. So bare with me I'm pleading, If 'not myself' I seem, In mind, I may be going through files, Right word or phrase to cream. It may not come instantly, As words did, years gone by, There's so much more now crammed there, So THAT's the reason why.
A HORRID day for me, 't'as been, With mem'ry issues, poor, A Doctor's 'ppointment, it was made, So it could be made sure. A few tests, they were carried out, Some questions, they were posed, Early onset Altzheimers Has now been diagosed. The future, 'tis uncertain, With disease I've acquired, My driving days? up in the air, T hankful, I have retired. 'Twill be for me, much harder, Since nearly 40, was, Before my first car did acquire, Those seizures, were the cause. A test, for driving, needed 'Twill be in a few day, I'm fearful of the outcome, So asking, those who pray, To send some towards Heaven, Where dwells Creator God, Whate'er His will, be carried out, The outcome, will Him, laud. MY preference, show compassion, And I will pass the test, To keep me able, still, to drive, And His name WILL be blest. Test scheduled for April 25th
