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 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Jeannette, I will miss all the times we went to Tim Horton’s for coffee and a snack/lunch. Trips to the mall and to Costco’s. It was so much fun going down to lake Ontario to walk Bolivar and enjoy the view. Your sense of humour will be especially missed along with “I’m French and Stubborn”.
