This is a poem that I read many years ago when I was grieving the loss of a friend. It has stayed with me always and has brought me much comfort in the last week as I know it will in the coming days, weeks, months and years.
Adapted from Unknown Author from the original Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep by 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 glint on snow.
I am sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the autumn rain.
When you awake to the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of birds circling in flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone.
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
