Afore Hereafter Poem by Donald R Wolff JR

There on the other side
Well spoken evermore
Awaits the joy always remembered
Long ago, a life before

To relive the many happy moments
Holding within these empty arms
Again, to answer for sweet love
When calling from afar

Where then does this heart belong
From life upon no more
Afraid to touch her once again
Across the starlit shore

As it was anon, afore
A smile while I cry
My dearest heart of all my love
Forever to be mine
