do not stand at my grave and weep
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.
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.

Hopefully one day I will be able to shake your hand and thank you for your sacrifice personally when I reach Heaven as well. Until then, I hope this message reaches your courageous soul. You will be remembered. Rest with the angels, your work is done.

My Friend
I lost several friends in Vietnam ....those I served with over there and those I grew up with in Las Cruces. Richard took me under his wings when we worked together one summer during a Youth Job Program at White Sands Missile Range, NM. Prior to this I admired Richard for his athletic ability as a football and track star. I was in Vietnam when he was killed and could not believe that the person whom I thought was "Superman" could be dead. Still to this day I honor him by visiting his grave site every time I go back home for a visit.
