Charles


by Henry Burt Stevens

don't take me out
and shoot me
i don't remember
what i had for lunch


but the sun goes
down and that means
i'll eat again
just don't ask about lunch


i know a smile
when i see one
i feel the warmth
of a friend's hand


who cares what year
i was born in
i'm still here
won't you be my friend?

This is a moving poem, Henry. It makes me think of the elderly, patients with Alzheimers and speaks volumes. ~~Nordette

I like the triple themes of crankiness, vulnerability, and lovingness in this unique poem. Enjoyed it in a big way.

Its the simple things in life that make the difference - as you so humorously point out here.
