Heaven

For those I love -- by Patrick Phillips

It will be the past
and we'll live there together.

Not as it was to live
but as it is remembered.

It will be the past.
We'll all go back together.

Everyone we ever loved,
and lost, and must remember.

It will be the past.
And it will last forever.

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
