Screaming on the Inside

Remember if I cannot walk,
The many cows I’ve chased,
Dogs I walked…
You needed a rest, and I still
Walked the trail and talked.

Remember if I cannot speak,
The horrible jokes I told,
Opinions I have rudely voiced,
Some times you prayed for silence,
Now I have no choice.

Remember if I cannot hear,
I’ll remember all you’ve said,
The feet, the tongue, the ear,
Are all that fail me now,
My memories, still quite clear.
