April 20, 2020
It was a sad day in my life to lose my Mom...no words can describe the feelings or acceptance that she was no longer here with us...then as I was going through Dad's stuff I stumbled upon her choice for the back page of his Memorial Pamphlet a poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye:
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there.
I have not left.
And I realized that she wasn't gone but all around me.
Momma I will miss you dreadfully but know that you and Dad are always close....
Your Loving Daughter Michelle
