"There's rosemary. That's for remembrance I pray you, love, remember." -Shakespeare.
To be remembered. Oh! what a thought! Don't we all want to be remembered? Remembered for what was best about ourselves. For the things we did that were kind, good, strong, loving, and compassionate. Please, I say, remember me now. When I loose my way and I am unkind remember my times of kindness and guide me back. When I make mistakes remember my good deeds from the past and point me back to the path of graciousness. When I am weak, my burden heavy and my load great, be strong for me and remind me that true strength comes from the Lord. When I am in despair and exasperated with people lead me to the loving way. And In my worst moments when I am in need myself be compassionate to me and remember when I have shared your load. Laugh with them that laugh and cry with those who cry. Shed tears with me when I am in pain and rejoice with me when I am happy. This is love. This is friendship. Let us remember each other when it can make a difference. When it can bless the heart. Let us make memories of kindness, goodness, strength, love, and compassion now. Let us act today.
So, yes. Remember me when I am gone. Remember what you loved of me. Remember my light. But do not forget me now. Now when I am in need. When life feels dark.
Love! Love today! And remember love.
