TRIBUTE PAGE

DO NOT WEEP

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 the snow.  I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.  I am the gentle autumns rain.  When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uprising 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 am in HEAVEN with my GOD ..forever and ever.
