Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain when you awaken in the Morning "shush"
I am the swift uplifting rush of quite birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die

May God bless you and your family at this time and always....
