Remember Me Not

Remember me not for this wit Which infallible does seem, Neither for all that time would forfeit Someday in my wildest dream. But for who I chose to be Amid many choices before me, Remember me for all I never was. Remember me not for the riches Which by hard work I gather, Neither for the come-to-pass wishes That can never be mine forever. But for all that I dared not do In spite of the odds I went through, Remember me for who I was. Remember me not for skill Nor fame which I could not avoid, Neither for the grace and will Which by myself I did not afford. But for the benevolence of the One By Whom great deeds are done, Remember me for who I never was.
