You Are Not Alone

 

Do not stare

 at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

 

I am the warm sunshine

 on your window pane,

I am the cool spring and autumn rain.

 

I am the gentle and

 beautiful falling snow,

I am the many winds that forever blow.

 

I am the bright stars that shine at night,

 I am the first morning's perfect light.

 

I am the beautiful bird

 you see in flight,

I am the truth and

 forgiveness of all

 that is right.

 

Do not stand at my

 grave and cry,

I am not there, I did not die.

 

I am forever and beyond,

 I am your hope and prayers,

 And, I will always

   be at your side.
