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 sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumns rain When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circle flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there. I did not die. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN EDEN FUNERAL HOME 4477 MAIN STREET 338-7111
