Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain

When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
Nick will be with you in spirit and in all of our hearts forever! I'm so deeply sorry for your loss:/

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
