In Loving Memory of Martha Parks

 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.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
-Mary Elizabeth Frye-

  1. She is already resting in peace, or perhaps hugging Wayne, Lisa, Larry, Randall, Granddaddy, and so many more loved ones.

    Love this poem Twirl.
