To the family of Scott Bandhold:
Please think of this when the pain of loss becomes too much to bear.
I Did Not Die
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 Autumns rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush. I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.
