A consoling memorial piece confirming the afterlife. Adapted to the famous poem of the same name by Mary Elizabeth Frye

lyrics

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 light on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the star that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
