Remember me

“Remember me”
He said as he neared his crucifying death
Although he was sure he wouldn’t last in the grave
He sure wanted to last forever in my heart

“Remember me”
Lest I get consumed in the pretty faces
Churn thoughts into sensual emotions
Feeding the beast within I am to mortify

“Remember me”
Even as I eat of the unleavened bread
To whet my appetite for the Living Bread
To unshackle me from the bonds of mortal bread

“Remember me”
As the cup my mouth engage
Invoking images of him drinking my cup of sorrows
That I may wine with God the father

“Remember me”
Though he knew I was far from perfect
Just wanted me to put him in focus
To be the only thought that would calm my heart

“Remember me”
He asked but not with poetry any can muster
But a redeemed heart eager to serve the master

Without which no one can prosper
