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 autumns rain When you awaken in the mornings rush I am the swift uplifting rush of quite 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.
