Memories

by @bridget-marie-clark

I remember The sound of my mother's piano playing To wake me up on each Sunday morning I remember Laying with my dad, eyes closed, listening, To his favorite classical music I remember My sister's favorite TV shows The sharp smell of salt & vinegar chips I remember My brother, full of jokes Giggling at his ridiculousness They remember Small me, afraid of the world Distracted and half dressed We remember But do are we open? Can we accept the new? I see my mother She can't play piano anymore She listens to my playing now I see my father He stood up from the sidelines He picked up a guitar, and I listen I see my sister Rarely, and she doesn't see me She still sees a teenager I don't see my brother Maybe twice a year He still sees a toddler But I remember.
