THE WALL OF FACES

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.

Doug and I were Plebes together at West Point Company E-2 and I always had the highest respect for him. He had attended 2 years of civilian college and had to start all over again at West Point. His demeanor was focused and serious. God bless you Doug and your family.
