REMEMBER

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned;
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for awhile
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

--Christina Rossetti.

From my granddad, P. Frank Hudson:

Life is a book in volumes three
The Past, The Present, The Yet To Be
The first is finished and laid away
The second we're reading day by day
The third and last of the volumes three
Is locked from sight; God keepeth the key.
