I have merry memories of many a kind

About them with much bliss,  I reminisce

And play with them today

Like movies in my mind

Now,  this is all I have to do

And,  what has happened to me may happen to you

Old age,  with poor health,  but mostly lack of wealth

Has me in a modest home,  confined

So,  I find myself in a bind,  life has left me behind

My past choices and decisions

Is how this outcome got designed

I know this,  the facts I cannot dismiss

I can see how this all came to me

It plays like movies in my mind

Fortunately,  I have a multitude of memories to watch

For the ones that I want to see again,  I can rewind

And about today?? Well,  it is just one of tomorrows memories

Like movies in my mind
