  How Easily We Forget
  © RSBlain
  April, 2009

  How easy it is to forget, that which we seldom see
  People, places, and events fade out in memory
  When brains march multi-tasking to daily hum and drum,
  Programmed tasks which drive us until work, each day, is done.

  It’s sometimes easy to forget, some voices as they play
  On radios or IPod as they softly drift or sway
  Some voices go un-noticed until a scream of pain
  Recalls you to your senses, your attention to regain.

  It’s very easy to forget what we can’t see, or feel, or hear
  Things we’re not directly party to, not in our path or near
  Like someone’s son or daughter lying in a bed
  Of satin pillowed casket with flag draped overhead.

  Forgetting’s like a virus of proportions not displayed
  Like measles or a cold sore we’d work hard to clear away.
  Letters, cards and packages are lotion for attacks
  Of guilt-ridden forgetfulness.  You can’t take forgetting back.

  REMEMBER  ME

   

  Have a good week.
