  • Do not stand at my grave and weep, 
    I am not there, I do not sleep. 
    I am in a thousand winds that blow, 
    I am the softly falling snow. 
    I am the gentle showers of rain, 
    I am the fields of ripening grain.
    I am in the morning hush,
    I am in the graceful rush
    Of beautiful birds in circling flight, 
    I am the starshine of the night.
    I am in the flowers that bloom,
    I am in a quiet room.
    I am in the birds that sing,
    I am in each lovely thing.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry,
    I am not there. I do not die.

    By Mary Elizabeth Frye
