THE WALL OF FACES

I came to say thanks for all that you did for all us Shark crew chiefs, gunners and pilots. You are not forgotten, just sorry that it took me so long to get here. RIP

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 ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
