This is another wonderful poem Debi that reminds me of why we are triplets. There are so many things I should be able to remember from a few minutes ago but I find myself going back to the place where I realized I needed some thing else, sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't. Lol I love how you and did your poem it is about family and fulfilling God's purpose.

This poem, What Did I Come in Here For?, gives a lighter look at those senior moments when the going about seems less direct and for "Well, since I'm here...". As always though, the kids are princes and princesses.

    Bill, you got me all figured out. Yes, a big senior moment coming in October for me, as I enter the twilight zone of another decade. One that was for my grandparents and I feel like I was just dropped here. LOL
    However, better than the alternative. Thanks so much for the words for my royal family! Hahahaha.
    Love, Debi

Hahaha, this is adorable and SO relatable! I swear, this is me. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was just born that way. Writing truly is the only way to stay sharp, or in my case, to keep my scattered thoughts organized in poems so that they don't fly away!
I love this, Debi. Especially the wordplay and emotional impact of your final line!
Xoxo

I have actually been going through this for years. Often when I go to the med room at work, someone interrupts me and I have to think why I was heading to the med room. Your words are light and humorous and I am sure everyone here can relate to them.

I know your poem was in jest
But daily we go through the test
Because once you go through the door
Scratch your head and stare at the floor
And like you say, "now what did I come here for"

Honestly, I have to retrace my steps at times in order to recall what I was after. Not to often, yet. Thankfully!

A nice witty poem to give me a chuckle!

Thank you,
John

This was fun to read, Debi. We've all had moments like that! I come to FanStory with an empty plate, never knowing what next morsel of insight or fun will be given to me. Thank you.

    Hahaha, I was just trying to be funny with this, as I remember already twenty years ago going into another room and forgetting what I went in there for. Yes, it was fun writing something we could all relate to. And I do think that most of us are pretty happy with most of our friendships here too. Thank you so much for being one of mine.
    Love and hugs, Debi

That is funny and true. We do know why we get on Fanstory and that is to write what we have been through or what we are going through.
Your couplets and nice. Congratulations on your wins and good luck with the poem.

    Oooh, thank you so very much. I am so touched by your very kind review and comments for this silly memory poem. And most certainly for your six stars too. Thanks for all the kind words, and as I rarely enter contests, I have been lucky when I do and I sure appreciate your congrats. Thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

-Nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-It's a funny thing about aging
because little things start happening
as you describe here. You wonder
where you put something or can't
think of what you were going to say, etc.
-You wrote a good poem about it, and
I like the repetition of the question.
-I also like your description, "old timer's disease."
That sums it up pretty well.
-I agree with you about research, writing, and
other activities to keep the brain active.
-A very good closing couplet.
-Well done!
