Beryl Stroud Edmonds
proper brummie kid
Do not get angry if I should forget
For something is happening inside my head
I know I'm not stupid and not going mad
It's just that my memory is getting quite bad
I try very hard to think things through
And know it's very annoying for you
Please be gentle and try to be kind
It's not really me, just the state of my mind
I'm not unique, it's nothing new
And this could easily happen to you
There's no way of stopping the ageing process
So let's live in love and sweet tenderness
Knowing that on each other we can depend
Until the day our life on earth ends
. . . . . .
