I Went To Bed

I went to bed with the thought of tomorrow
but when I ' roused from sleep
I could not remember yesterday.
Its hours I could not keep.
And now tomorrow is today
and it makes me wonder why
I can't remember yesterday?
It makes me want to cry.
When I was younger and in my bed
I remembered everything.
But now my autumn years are here
and I find I cannot bring
my memory back, I fear.
