Is my memory failing as I age
Is my mind trapped in a cage

It has been brought to my attention that Memory is dependent on retention

I have lost my keys as most of us have
My mind wandered when placed there 

Keeping  my mind in the now not hampered by the future or past
Will sharpen my memory and recollection that will surely last

I have often forgotten a name when being introduced
The reason being I was not paying attention to the truth 

My memory fades and many mistakes are made 
When I find myself in a rush my thoughts are delayed

To sharpen my memory I need to
Pay close attention 
Slowing down and clearing the mind will bring less tension
