Friday - something nice!!

Hi peeps - was sent this on an email and thought it was lovely so I thought I'd share it with you guys :-)  In case your wondering why I'm worried, it's because work received the applications for the post that's been advertised and mine should be there!!  I'm not feeling over confident about it - even when I posted the application but I guess we'll see............like Trina said if I don't get it, it wasn't meant to be - wise words huh?  Hope you all have a good weekend xx

Just a line to say I'm living,
That I'm not among the dead.
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And more mixed up in the head.

For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at foot of stairs,
If I must go up for something,
Or if I've just come down from there.

And before the fridge so often
My poor mind is filled with doubt
Have I just put food away?...or
Have I come to take some out?

And there's times when it is dark out,
With my night cap on my head
I don't know if I'm retiring
Or just getting out of bed.

So...if it's my turn to write you
There's no need of getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore!!

So, remember..I do love you
And I wish that you were here,
But now it's nearly mail time,
So I must say good-bye my dear.

There I stood beside the mail box
With a face so very red
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I had opened it instead!!

My bifocals fit - my dentures are fine
My hearing aid works...but ..I do miss my mind!!!

Fingers crossed Jen, probably a good explanation why it's not there, maybe internal candidates are a seperate pile.  I like that poem very much.~xxR

Love the poem - Lol. Sounds a bit like me these days! Recently, I made a mug of coffee - when I'd finished, I put the milk bottle on the stove and the kettle in the fridge - erm?? :-)  Good luck with the application!
