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.
