*v*v* Puzzles in our Minds *v*v*
**v**v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*
Why can't we remember things we ought?
Does old age rob our mind's progress
******************************
To kick our memories out the door
To leave us in such great distress?
*******************************
The names of all my family dear
Often get misplaced somewhere
*******************************
I was forced to recollect
Until the right names did appear
********************************
But what was said in '62
Comes to mind with such a flare
********************************
And what I did in school that day
These unimportant facts are clear
*********************************
I felt I wandered in a haze
Or perchance lost in a maze
*********************************
But day by day I'd meditate
To bring my memory up to date
*********************************
I think it's how we pass our time
That keeps our body and our mind
*********************************
In perfect shape, in youthful style
It surely makes my life worthwhile
*********************************
What seems like puzzles in my mind
All bounces back so crystal clear
*********************************
If we stick to a strict regime
And keep ever active fit, it seem
*********************************
We'll always be sweet and kind
We won't have puzzles in our minds
