Read this after my Death...

(An old one...Dug it out from a personal diary)

"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am in the thousand winds that blow.
i am in the diamond glint of snow.
I am in the smile upon your face.
I am in the happiness you embrace.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die!"

A poem about death;
is usually rather grave.
But here the poet sayeth;
that in death we must be brave.
For death is not an ending;
it is immortality pending;
through the long days of life;
during much toil and strife.
It is death that sets us free;
and you have put it so well.
With you I heartily agree;
For the wise ne'er fear the knell.
A very excellent poem, I must say;
compliments to the poet, I do pay.
My vanity doesn't do me well
I had to do it in Doggerel.
