Sonnet 49: Please Do Not Mourn For Me When I Am Dead Poem by David Wood
Sonnet 49: Please Do Not Mourn For Me When I Am Dead
Please do not mourn for me when I am dead
For I have hence gone to a higher place
And I have said all that had to be said
I have done everything and run the race.
I have loved you dearest with all my heart
And have fond memories in my minds store.
And you my dear sweet have played well the part
Of loving spouse even when we were poor.
My love, I do not want you to be sad,
But enjoy what life has in store for you,
And to think of our past love and be glad.
Look to the future where all things are new.
You were everything I ever dreamed of
My best friend, confidant, my own sweet love.
Remember all the pleasant times, her plea. Beautiful sonnet.
Just a delightful memory. If only all couples could make that statement as to how very happy they were while they were together in life.
Well written David. Makes me think of the book, who will cry when you die. A very nice wish for your loved ones. We want our loved ones to cherish the moments we had together and not just mourn endlessly. Wonderful message.
