Bereavement and Grieving

AN INDIAN PRAYER

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 Autumn's rain.

When you waken in the morning's hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled 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.
