I Did Not Die

Do not stand by my grave and grieve.
I am not there, I did not leave.
For I'm that distant shining star.

I'm all around you never far.

I am the sparkle in the children's eyes.
I paint the blue in the autumn skies.

And in those cool sweet summer eves
I hide in the shadow the summer weaves.

Yes together we laughed and cried
But now I'm ever at your side.
For as long as I am in your heart
well never really be apart.

So live your life and do be gay
And look forward to the day,
When somewhere just around the bend
We will surely meet agaain...

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
