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 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.
As long as you are remembered you will never truly 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 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.
As long as you are remembered you will never truly die.

I am Bruce, because he was Bruce
Bruce J. Allen was a dear friend of my father, Cleland, who served as one of his pall bearers, and gifted me his first and middle name. It is my honor and privilege to emcee the Memorial Day commemoration every year in Carroll Park, Brooklyn and to pay tribute to him, his life, his service, and his death. It's a pity I never go to meet my namesake, but I'm so glad to keep his name alive, both literally and figuratively.
