THE WALL OF FACES

Albert was a roommate of mine for several years at the University of Wichita. He was a quiet individual, but a great "roomie" and we got along well with the other three of us in the upstairs at 1537 Fairmount. I was greatly saddened when I learned of his passing. Today I visited the traveling "Wall" and ran my hand over his name for quite some time. Albert, God bless you always for your sacrifice.

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 die...
