~~~~The Gentle Breeze~~~~

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not here,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 hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of a quiet bird 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.
