sitsinhedges Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) 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 sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn’s rain.When you awaken in the morning’s hushI am the swift uplifting rushOf 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. Author: Mary Frye Edited October 26, 2014 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 another one THERE is sorrow enough in the natural wayFrom men and women to fill our day;And when we are certain of sorrow in store,Why do we always arrange for more?Brothers and sisters, I bid you bewareOf giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buyLove unflinching that cannot liePerfect passion and worship fedBy a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.Nevertheless it is hardly fairTo risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years which Nature permitsAre closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,And the vet's unspoken prescription runsTo lethal chambers or loaded guns,Then you will find - it's your own affair, -But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will,With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!),When the spirit that answered your every moodIs gone - wherever it goes - for good,You will discover how much you care,And will give your heart to a dog to tear! We've sorrow enough in the natural way,When it comes to burying Christian clay.Our loves are not given, but only lent,At compound interest of cent per cent,Though it is not always the case, I believe,That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve;For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,A short-time loan is as bad as a long -So why in - Heaven (before we are there)Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?
