Show M&m A Chit Chat Old Gang Loses Another 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 glints on snow. I am the sunlight on golden grain. I am the soft autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the soft uplifting rush Of silent birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die."
