A Tribute to Grandma Violet

A fitting poem for a marvelous person
Violet's memorial from the Calgary Herald newspaper
This poem was found in mothers collections
"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 awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift up lighting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."
