Be more like your sibling!
Be more like him or her!
Don’t say that darling!
Realize your message sir!
You aren’t good enough!
You don’t matter!
Why not say “Do your best. Be your best self” ?
Why not say that?
Hmm!
Don’t say that!

Don’t Hate Me
I am a mere reflection of your most hated qualities, but please don’t hate me for them. We are kindred spirits so just love me!
Sending you hugs from Brooklyn. Just because you don’t see me or hear from me doesn’t mean I’m not here loving you.

Forget Me Not
Unable to copy that stupid clock
I become more confused
My memories are a jigsaw puzzle I can’t seem to put together
One piece in hand yet it doesn’t fit the other I placed down
It’s like my thoughts wander about like my body does in the darkness of night.
I walk about and don’t know where I am when I stop.
I don’t recall where I was and worse where I’m going
My reflection shows an old wrinkled man I don’t recognize.
Could it be my father? A stranger perhaps?
I am a young boy so I don’t quite know
Can you let me know? Please. I beg of you.
I didn’t write anything down but instead I fell down
So many wrongs I shall never right because …
What was I going to say?
My thoughts are like a scrabble game
So many letters but I can’t come up with a single word
The Z is worth ten points
What was my point?
I didn’t write anything down and I don’t remember
It’s September and it’s Spring I guess
I’m in late winter and May I use the bathroom
I must tell my father to get out of the bathroom. He is there looking old and wrinkled in the mirror.
I feel alone and I can smell the scent of the Forget Me Nots
I just want to Me Not Forget
No regrets! Who are you again?
Dementia is difficult to witness as a physician but even more so when it’s your loved one. A lot of patience is required. Don’t get frustrated but breathe. The moments of lucidity even if few are all worth it. With much love and hugs from Brooklyn.

Caged Free
I thought I would finally fly out this cage
Forget the world’s rage
Perch on your friendly shoulder
But your absence was a boulder
Destroying that stage
My solitude may have blinded me to the exit before
But I see it now and choose to close the door .
I’ll remain in my cage safe and sound
I choose me and you can just stand around.
Happy Friday my lovelies. I send you hugs from Brooklyn. Always choose yourself. You matter!
Dear Avid
I miss reading your freshly written letters becoming words.
Those words that stroked me in places that others couldn’t
You sentenced me like no other.
I miss those exclamations and quotations!
What was it about you that makes me miss you till this day?
Your soft kisses? Maybe
Warm hugs? Perhaps!
The way your words would pleasure my greatest fantasy? Yes oh yes.
Our book has crinkly yellowing pages but I hold it dear. I’ll keep reading and rereading to pacify my desire for my most Avid reader.
I barely write these days for my words are muted without my beloved muse.
Wishing you a great new year. Perhaps your words find themselves into my inbox. If not I can always continue to dream.
With love Guady G
Sending much love to you and all my readers. Hugs from Brooklyn to keep you safe and warm.
