I am here, though you no longer notice me.

They rush around me as if I do not matter,
they rush around as if I am not here,
they rush around me as if i where a ghost.
They rush around as if they have forgotten I am here,
Have they forgotten I am here?
Have they forgotten all about me?
 I do not blame them for they are young,
and I am old. But I am still here you know?
I can hear what yous say, oh yes I know I can
be a pain. I know I get confused sometimes,
but you must be patient with me, I am old and frail,
my mind isn't what it used to be. Though I could tell
you a story or two, you will not sit long enough to listen to me,
Though I am old, and though I forget sometimes if you look to see I am still here
I'm not just some old fool sitting in a room, I was young like you once.
Once upon a time, I used to rush around like someone else didn't matter,
once upon a time I rushed, though now I hobble and wobble about.
Once upon a time I used to be a child, I had toys galore.
Once upon a time, I used to look after someone, now I myself am looked after.
I am sorry if sometimes I forget your name,
I am sorry if sometimes I forget to tell you I need something,
I am sorry if sometimes I just don't want to talk,
I am sorry if sometimes I have a bad day.
Please remember I was young once too, please don't rush away from me,
stay have a chat and a cup of tea, I promise you when you are old it's all you'll want too.
