He Always Made Me Smile
He Always Made Me Smile
By Jennifer Smith
I remember when I was a little girl and he used to try to dunk me in his swimming pool,
That always made me smile.
I remember when I was a journalism major in college and he used to ask me if I was going to write for some "liberal rag,"
That always made me smile.
I remember when he rented a karaoke machine for my cousins' graduation parties, and made everyone get up and sing,
That always made me smile.
I remember after I turned 21 and he used to mix me fancy drinks, complete with fancy glasses, at every family party,
That always made me smile.
Now there will be no more dunking, no more joking, no more singing, and no more partying,
Just lots of good memories,
And lots of smiles.
He always made me smile.
In memory of my Uncle Dick.
