I am the diamond glint on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush. I am the swift uplifting rush of birds circling in flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. KNYSH FUNERAL CHAPEL 582-0973
