A Special Tribute




Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not here, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the 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 soft uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I did not die.

This is beautiful Erin. It has little Ben's personality shining through. Thank you for sharing.

I started writing my comment and read Julie's and ours were almost identical. It is beautiful and I love that it has Ben's sweet, fun personality in it. I'm excited to get to know Ben better through all you memories. Thanks.
