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 rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die. tom and mike you are in my thoughts and prayers your mom was like a mom to me i loved her deeply she will never be forgotten please get in touch with me if you can philip cialone youre freind always

Mike and Tom, I was really saddened to hear about your mother passing away. I know that we have not spoken or seen each other in over 20 years, but I do remember your mother well. Your mother and my mother (died in 1994) were best friends growing up, and I have heard many stories about their youth. I also vaguely remember your father, who was best friends with my father, though I was only 7 when he passed away. Your mother will be in my thoughts and prayers.
