And I Remember

When I hear the Red Red Wine song, I see you with a microphone singing this song, you sang in our family parties. I feel your presence, like how you lighted up and expressed your joy, happiness every time I visited you or called you. When I hear the Red Red Wine song, I remember when we sang karaoke songs, while I drank your home made margarita and ate your home cooked dishes. When you drove me around the city talking, giggling, chuckling, laughing. When I hear the Red Red Wine song in my car radio, I smile or shed a tear for I remember how you cared about me and loved me unconditionally. I remember you told me many times how deep down you knew I love you and how much you mean to me. And I remember you, Mommy. 3/12/21 I Remember Poetry Contest Malabika Ray Choudhury
