The Jigsaw Puzzle
How old am I, remind me of my name?
Who is that face in the photo frame?
I’m told that I live here now, is that so?
What’s the date today, as I don’t know?
Why is this jigsaw puzzle on my tray?
What is my problem, will it go away?
Why are these strangers kissing me?
Why are they upset as tears I can see?
It’s getting severe this memory lapse.
I need somebody kind to fill in the gaps.
Will they wrap me all up for a day out?
Oh, how did this confusion come about?
Why has the clock stopped on the wall?
I’m struggling to make any sense of it all.
I say ‘Goodnight’ but I’m not sure who to.
What’s gone so wrong, I wish that I knew?
(take care and treasure each day you are healthy in body and mind )

If only we could spend our collective wealth on curing / preventing such distressing conditions, instead of killing and destroying lives.
