~* Earth Bound Angel *~
Occasionally, we are graced
with the presence of an earth
bound Angel. They are unable
to stay with us for long, but
while they do, they bring
unprecedented joy and happiness
to all they touch. While they are
here, we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution
to the world. When they leave,
we are left with the devastation
that comes with losing such a
wonderful being...but we must
remember...the earth bound Angels
are not ours to keep. They are ours
to enjoy, learn from, and behold
until they return home.
~* Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep *~
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 rain.
When you awaken
in the mornings 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.
