Letter To Future Soul

Dear Me who either grew or just withered

Grace from grace, faith from faith, life from holy life

I pray that God will still watch over you
I pray that you’ll be healthy in flesh, and whole
I pray that you’ll be joyful in heart too 
I pray that you’ll be rejoicing in your soul 

You are an absolute stranger to me 
Yet we’re closer than a sibling or a wife 
You have just photos of me in time’s sea 
Yet we are of one spirit and single life 

Remember to keep your secret promise 
Remember your gentleness and calm 
Remember the blessed gospel of Thomas 
Remember the God-written, blessed, secret Psalm 

Greet for me my father and my mother 
Greet my brother and family if they live 
Greet your friends whom I know, with no bother 
Greet those friends whom I haven’t met yet and give

Watch that you not come to be in the body 
From You who have passed away in memory
