The poem which was read for you Mum, so beautifully and so movingly by David & Lisa . . Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep 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 the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning, hush I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am the song that will never end. I am the love of family and friends. I am the child who has come to rest in the arms of the Father who knows her best. When you see the sunset fair, I am the scented evening air. I am the joy of a task well done. I am the glow of the setting sun. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.
