I was reminded of this today...

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 autumn's gentle rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling 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! - (Text attributed to) Mary E. Frye For those loved and lost, today, and yesterday, I wanted to share this with you tonight, in memoriam. Pep

Thanks Pep,here is one thats been seen before it was written by Sailpappy.I had it read at my brothers funeral last year,it helps to comfort at a very hard time. "WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME.............. When tomorrow starts without me , And I'm not there to see . If the sun should rise and find your eyes , All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry , The way you did today. While thinking of the many things , We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me , As much as I love you. And each time that you think of me , I know you'll miss me too . But when tomorrow starts without me , Please try to understand . That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand . And said my place was ready , In heaven far above . And that I'd have to leave behind , All those I dearly love . But when I walked through heaven's gates , I felt so much at home . When God looked down and smiled at me , From His great golden throne , He said "This is eternity And all I've promised you" , Today for life on earth is past But here it starts anew . I promise no tomorrow , For today will always last. And since each day's the same way , There's no longing for the past . So when tomorrow starts without me , Don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me , I'm right here in your heart. " Thank You Sailpappy

"Do not stand at my grave and weep," was read at my grandfather's memorial service... That one always gets me... Love lasts forever. It is the one part of us that I'm certain is eternal. It goes on and on...

Pep and Billy, Thanks for sharing both of those. They are so beautiful. "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep" was on my grandfather's prayer cards when he passed away. Always have loved that one. Thanks for posting them! Lizzie

Billy........one of my best friends I worked for a few years back at her kennel sent me that poem and was killed a few months later in a horrible car crash with her husband. The daughter read it at the funeral. Both poems here are very moveing......strange how they can bring up strong thoughts and emotions sort of lost or forgotten ! They say alot Pam
