Remember Me

Lena Quezada

To remember is to prove

That mind believes what Life has seen–

A crack in Porcelain,

A smudge in Paint.

To remember is to know

Familiar voices and outlines–

A Stranger, once a Friend,

An old House–once a Home.

To remember is to Love,

To truly understand–

Why One does,

And how One is.

Remember Me–when the Plate breaks–

When the Pen bleeds–

When that Song plays,

And when Home is close.
