Analysis of Can You Stumble with Grace?
Sometimes I stumble with my thoughts,
Forgetting is the worst!
My mental words get tied in knots
As if I have been cursed!
I hate it when I see someone
That I knew long ago
And play a game that is not fun;
Their name I do not know!
For many years I've been that way.
If dementia I should get,
No difference will I see that day
Because I do forget.
