Do not stand by 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 awake in the morning’s hush

I am the swift upflinging rush,

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night,

I’d like the memory of me

to be a happy one,

I’d like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways,

of happy times and laughing

times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those

who grieve, to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave

when life is done.

A Bright New World

We feel so sad when those we love

Are touched by death’s dark hand,

But it would ease our sorrow

If we could but understand

That death is just a gateway

To that land free from all tears

Where joy...

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake

With which we’ll...
