Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

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 sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken 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!
