El Brindis del Bohemio (Guillermo Aguirre) Voz Manuel Bernal

A New Year Toast-El Brinde(toast) del Bohemia (of the poet)....was played every New Years Eve at my folks home. My father would time it to Toast when the clock would strike midnight! Bong! and the poem would begin....it's a lovely melodious poem of men toasting to Hope-Esperanza and Destino-Destiny....but the last toast is the best of all. The man toast to woman not to the one with artificially perfumed curls....but to his mother's poetic face, he first saw from the crib. His mother who gave him life from her blood and gave her whole heart to take care of him (crying yet....) His mother who though absent awaits imploring to him from beyond and though absent is his guiding star....oh yes, break out with the tissue....for all those who have loved and lost and remember a mother's heartfelt love & devotion once again.
