Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

   Posted by: jude8753   in Mature Not Senile Misc

This poem has  helped me tremendously in dealing with a lot of my grief over the past couple of years.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
‘words are attributed to Mary E Frye, 1932′

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.

This is a beautiful poem which I have it posted at my site too. I feel that these words can be comforting to anyone who lost a loved one.

I’ve read this before. I am not one for grave visiting. My Dad is and he visit my Mom often. I did go last time I was home. I think that poem is one that must be deep in my mind., because I feel nothing at the grave site. Now the house is different. She is always present there and here.

Hi Jude,
Nice poem, but I am one of those people who would cry. I just really miss my grandma and grandpa who are both gone now. They lived right by me, now I look out my bedroom window and there is their trailer home empty.

Glad this poem is helping you and I believe there is life after death. We will see our loved ones again one sweet day. :-)

I last saw this many years ago. It’s very different to read it in my forties instead of in my thirties, much more poignant. Thanks for posting it.
