To Bob, An Irish Poem....

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 the 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 waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle 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...

Bob Burns was my SCUBA instructor over 30 years ago. I remember his enthusiasm for diving and how he enjoyed teaching others. He introduced me to a whole new world and it was a very exciting time. I will always remember how it felt the first time breathing under water and although Bob was already a pro, he shared the same excitement that all the students were experiencing. Thank you Bob for sharing your gifts. My condolences to Bob's family. What a huge loss for all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time in your life.
