A Lovely Poem to Start the Day

Victor Banis shared the following poem on FB. I thought it a lovely thought for the day.  We are, each one of us, living or dead, all these things. Thanks for sharing Victor.

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 softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain, 


I am the fields of ripening grain. 


I am in the morning hush, 


I am in the graceful rush 


Of beautiful birds in circling flight.

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing, 


I am in each lovely thing. 


Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there -- I do not die.
