The things we remember

So it has come to this--
A few scrawled notes
In a deliberate black print
Requiring too much effort
Of pen and mind,
Onions for stuffing,
Lyrica for pain,
Return lites to Walmart,
Money from bank,
Cards for grand kids,
Ornaments for nieces
Passed from grandmother,
Chin waxed—again.
The endless list of reminders,
A lifetime full of them
With meticulous care,
Finally drawing to an end .
