We shall meet again
Whether in this life or the next
I will always find my way to you
No matter where I shall go
Whether it be
Beyond the flat plains, or
Beyond the soaring mountains, or
Beyond the seven seas
We shall meet again
Whether in this life or the next
I will always find my way to you
Although right now
It might feel like
Excruciating pain, or
A thousand blows to your heart, or
As if the world is caving in
We shall meet again
Whether in this life or the next
I will always find my way to you
I love you.
Forever and always
Whether you are right next to me, or
Worlds away
We shall meet again
Whether in this life or the next
I will always find my way to you
Even if it takes a lifetime
I will run
And run
And run
And run
To find you
We shall meet again
Whether in this life or the next
I will always find my way to you
The Imaginative Conservative applies the principle of appreciation to the discussion of culture and politics—we approach dialogue with magnanimity rather than with mere civility. Will you help us remain a refreshing oasis in the increasingly contentious arena of modern discourse? Please consider donating now.
We hope you will join us in The Imaginative Conservative community. The Imaginative Conservative is an online journal for those who seek the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. We address culture, liberal learning, politics, political economy, literature, the arts and the American Republic in the tradition of Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot, Edmund Burke, Irving Babbitt, Wilhelm Roepke, Robert Nisbet, Richard Weaver, M.E. Bradford, Eric Voegelin, Christopher Dawson, Paul Elmer More, and other leaders of Imaginative Conservatism. Some conservatives may look at the state of Western culture and the American Republic and see a huge dark cloud which seems ready to unleash a storm that may well wash away what we most treasure of our inherited ways. Others focus on the silver lining which may be found in the next generation of traditional conservatives who have been inspired by Dr. Kirk and his like. We hope that The Imaginative Conservative answers T.S. Eliot’s call to “redeem the time, redeem the dream.” The Imaginative Conservative offers to our families, our communities, and the Republic, a conservatism of hope, grace, charity, gratitude, and prayer.

Very power writing. I’m glad he wants to be child psychologist. Having needed them for my own children and having to wait 6 months to get an appointment, it is definitely an underserved population.
Such an appropriate verse in this time of Covid……well said!
I enjoyed this poem. I wish Thomas Mussomeli the very best in his future endeavors.
Beautifully written Thomas!
