Thoughts
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

'A Letter From Heaven'
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as i love you,
and each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
i'm right there in your heart.

Hello Dad, can’t believe another year has passed. I miss you everyday, but as you always said life is for the living, so we go on without you. But life isn’t the same without your smile, your humour and for me most of all your hugs. I love you dad now and forever xxxx

Miss you Dad more as time goes on. There was so much I should have asked you. So much you still had to teach me. I love you xxxx
