Let’s Meet Again Next Week or Next Life
Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 32
To ask to be remember’ed
is good
Both for the humble asker
and for the asked -
For both will pause to
consider mortality
And both will pause to
enjoy the happy now
We understand this world
will pass away
That all created things must
collapse and die
And yet we are promised
them back again
And each other too, in
saecula saeculorum
Then, yes, please, do remember
me, if you would -
To ask to be remember’ed
is good
