Let's Meet Again Next Week or Next Life - poem

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
