Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. 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 glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
