Just over two years ago, I wasn't able to write this. Now its more appropriate.
To John--You know your friend is holding the door open for you.
To everyone--I offer this poem.
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.

Good Night, God Bless
Without your kind and gentle smile
And sweet familiar face
A treasured life is missing
And the world's a sadder place.
You lived your life so graciously
You always did your best
Now you're with the angles
And it's time for you to rest.
As peace surrounds you everywhere
In Heavenly skies above
Here on earth you're deeply missed
And thought about with Love.
We see the stars at night time
Shinning bright and clear
And as we say Goodnight, God Bless
We know that you will hear.
