In reply to the discussion: MiddleFingerMom has died. [View all]Callmecrazy
(3,065 posts)139. I've posted this before, but it needs to be said...
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 diamonds glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the autumn's gentle rain.
When you waken 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.
I live with the risen Lord.
