What I'm looking for is a short poem. It's
message is 'remember me from time-to time but
get on with your life.'
I think I saw it on this forum. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I think that the poem you may be looking for is the one I posted a number of years ago.


Now that I am dead cry for me a little
think of me sometimes.
But not too much.
Remember me now and again as I was in life,
at some moment when it is pleasant to recall.
But not for long.
Leave me in peace, and I shall leave you in peace.
And while you live let your thoughts be with the living.

"Poem for the Living" by Theodora Kroeber, and falsely attributed to Ishi, the last Yana/Yahi, apparently from this

The first poem is as suitable for a companion pet as well as a human, this one strictly for a life's companion dog.

Oh God, my master,
should I gain the grace
to see thee face to face when life is ended.
Grant that a little dog who once pretended
that I was God might see me, face to face.
