She thought “I should make a note…”
And then sat down to write
Forgot what to remember
“Oh yes, it’s Steven’s quote!”
Looked around for a pen
The paper by her side
By the time she found the ink
Once again the memory died.
Frustrated in her older years
Bought a phone recorder fine
Now she simply speaks her thoughts
‘Cause it’s by her all the time.

A sorry attempt at humor about a problem for today with so much on our minds.
The Bag Lady 
I didn’t make a note
Of the things I might have said
Or remember what I wrote
Of those thoughts within my head
In letters that were written
And perhaps were never read
As you nestled someone else
Within your heart
Within your bed
