Do not stand at my grave/I am not there/I do not sleep/I am a thousand winds that blow/I am the diamond glints in the snow/I am sunlight on ripened grain/I am a gentle autumn rain/when you awaken in the morning, hush/I am the swift up lifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight/I am the soft stars that shine at night/do not stand on my grave and cry/I am not there/I did not die. ("Ma" was my husband's paternal grandmother).
