Red


Today, he wore red
And reflected the hue of his heart…
My mom, in her matching attire.

Their photo was clear
But his mind was not
And my heart felt the weight

Today, I wore red
It adorned my lips…
As a reflection of my parents’ love

And the button
Of the car seatbelt
Was Red… and the only way

Dad remembered how to
Unbuckle it and free
Himself from that which bound him

If only there was a red button
That when pushed
Would free his mind of this disease

The color Red
Has many shades…
Of Love and Sorrow.
