THE WALL OF FACES

Ed. Isn't a day goes by that I don't think of you. You only had a few days left. I was only in country 2 months. Shoulda been me. Rest in peace mybrother

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 sun 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.

May this remembrance find you in Gods eternal Holy Kingdom!
Let us pray that America always holds you and the Countless other souls that have given all there is to give in the highest honor !
