REMEMBER

Remember me
when you drive by cemeteries
or when you touch my favorite chair.


Remember we were young once.


Remember our good moments
together, especially when you feel all alone.


Remember the times we forgave each other.


Remember the times we laughed,
especially when tears are tearing you up.


Remember how thankful I am
for the glue of your love when it seems
I was coming apart at the seams.


Remember the times you saw me praying.


Remember the signals and signs
we sent across so many rooms and we
were the only ones who knew them.


Remember Jesus rose from the dead.


Remember Jesus’ promise at the banquet
of every Mass that that we’ll all meet again
at the Eternal Banquet of Heaven.
