RETIRED=MENT

    Re-Tired-Ment

Where are my glasses--Where are my keys?
Can't find the cell phone-Can ya help me please!
They say that the memory's the first thing to go
Or is it the hearing? I don't really know.

I had fixed such a nice dinner with all of the trimmings
Now where are the Batty's--do ya think they went swimming?
My clock now tells me it's a quarter past eight.
"Oh dear--is it NEXT WEEK--they've never been late!"
So I called the Co-Ordinator, and she said to me
"The Batty's at your house--but on next Wednesday!"

When you lose your truck in the parkin lot
And you can't remember if you ate or not
When you find yourself lost on a cloudy day
In the middle of June--or is it still May?

You might find advantages in growing old
Like Senior discounts for dinner I am told.
But-Before you forget, just be sure to remember
Our anniversary, Dear, it must be in September!

Our grandchildren now think it must be a game
When we sometimes get mixed up and call the wrong name.
Whenever I feel like my memory's slippen
I check all the faucets to see if they're drippen.
Now dates aren't important and neither is time
Yesterday's over and the PRESENT IS MINE  !

I just try and remember what I'm doing NOW
'Cuz it's all that's important--whoever you are.
I will try and do my best that I can every day
And be grateful for my friends whenever I pray.
But if the day ever comes, that I forget who  I  am
I sure hope God will remember and take me back home again.
