oops

Just a note: I did not write this nor do I know the title. I think it's a nice way to think of our loved ones that have passed on. And if anyone can enlighten me on the author and/or title, please let me know. I have carried this poem around for thirty years.
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 sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush.
I am the swift uplifting 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.

This was beautiful and heart warming. I wish I'd wrote it, for whoever did must be very proud.
Take care. Peace.

Mary Elizabeth Frye (1904-)
I hope this helps ..
Version 1 (revised by another hand?)
1Do not stand at my grave and weep
2I am not there. I do not sleep.
3I am a thousand winds that blow
4I am the diamond glints on snow.
5I am the sunlight on ripened grain
6I am the gentle autumn rain.
7When you awaken in the morning's hush,
8I am the swift uplifting rush
9Of quiet birds in circled flight.
10I am the soft stars that shine at night.
11Do not stand at my grave and cry.
12I am not there: I did not die
Version 2 (original?)
1Do not stand at my grave and weep,
2I am not there, I do not sleep.
3I am a thousand winds that blow,
4I am the softly falling snow.
5I am the gentle showers of rain,
6I am the fields of ripening grain.
7I am in the morning hush,
8I am in the graceful rush
9Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
10I am the starshine of the night.
11I am in the flowers that bloom,
12I am in a quiet room.
13I am in the birds that sing,
14I am in each lovely thing.
15Do not stand at my grave and cry,
16I am not there -- I do not die.
