The Scary Road...October 2012 Poem by shirani ibrahim

Oh God today I realize that my friend, my trusted memory is getting broke
Please it is not a laughing matter you know and it really is not a joke.
I was full of vitality and bubbling around to and fro every passing day
So busy was I, my youth all spent to make others happy this I must say.
The years whizzed by and my soul tells me that I am more stronger
My body speaks a different language saying, soon it may not be longer.
I find that when I am here I want to be there and want to be everywhere
Confused, the conflicts, so torn apart, I reach out to God in a silent prayer.
When shopping I go I see many a smiles and end up chatting much to say
But their names in my memory seems to have gone many miles away..
A specialist I was in many a sweets now what a mess I do really make
An expert I was with many a cakes and today I fail, even with a simple bake.
I put many a things away to make it safe and just for my eyes to see
Then I go searching and my daughter say it is safely hidden from me! !
