Forgotten


Forgotten

old and shattered
aging away
ignored
neglected
no longer nurtured
no longer valued
why is it we have forgotten?

aging is a scary thing
we rush around
ignoring it
hoping it will go away
out of sight out of mind
choosing not to see

forgotten is a scary word
it applies that we don't care
we have forgotten
what is important
the individual
the human being

find compassion
have a heart
don't forget those
aging around you
they deserve so much more
than we ever choose to give

forgotten can be hurtful
to those who need us so much
spend the time
share your world
to someone deserving today
it's time to restore the heart
