Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep – Mary Frye

“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’s 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.”

Place them in my mother’s arms

I do it every day,
but there’s an ache within my heart
that will never go away.”

Tears running down my face,
Ready for your return,
Even if it takes forever,
