To Mother,
Love,
Paula

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 snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain

I am the mist on the meadow on a fall morning
The purple blossoms of an African violet on a sunny windowsill
Butterflies fluttering in a gentle breeze
Cloud formations in a bright blue sky
And fireflies that sparkle on a summer night

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of birds in circling 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
