Thoughts are flowing through my mind Confusion and repeated days are spent thinking of what has been left behind. I'm sure I tended and planted these flowers yesterday. Confusion overwhelming me with dismay. Watering and tending again to give a new lease of life. I request the loving help of my wife. She doesn't seem to be around and I wonder why. Then I smell the familiar baking of a homely apple pie. My loved one keeping me warm inside. Something I have never been able to hide. What was I doing before I thought about my wife!! I can't remember the details of my life. I enter a lonely and unfamiliar quiet house. This isn't where we were before. Why isn't my wife by the door. I see an old lady I barely recognise on a dusty mantelpiece. She looks familiar but I cannot recall her name. I try to think, but my attempts are in vane. Reflections come flooding back into my life. This lady is obviously to old to be my wife. As I gather my lasting thoughts and stroll off to my bed. Limited memories flowing hazily through my head. My wife will soon be here to keep me warm and content. As I dream about the wonderful past times we lovingly spent.

Withering thoughts.
Thoughts are flowing through my mind Confusion and repeated days are spent thinking of what has been left behind. I'm sure I tended and planted these flowers yesterday. Confusion overwhelming me with dismay. Watering and tending again to give a new lease of life. I request the loving help of my wife. She doesn't seem to be around and I wonder why. Then I smell the familiar baking of a homely apple pie. My loved one keeping me warm inside. Something I have never been able to hide. What was I doing before I thought about my wife!! I can't remember the details of my life. I enter a lonely and unfamiliar quiet house. This isn't where we were before. Why isn't my wife by the door.
