Thanks in advance, HandyWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP "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 gentle autumn rain!. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight!. I am the soft starlight at night!. Do not stand at my grave and weep!. I am not there, I do not sleep!. Do not stand at my grave and cry!. I am not there, I did not die! Do not stand at my grave and weep!. I am not there, I do not sleep!. I am the song that will never end!. I am the love of family and friend!. I am the child who has come to rest In the arms of the Father who knows him best!. When you see the sunset fair, I am the scented evening air!. I am the joy of a task well done!. I am the glow of the setting sun!. Do not stand at my grave and weep!. I am not there, I do not sleep!. Do not stand at my grave and cry!. I am not there, I did not die!"
