    3 We would give anything to just have him back!
    2 Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep.
    2 I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.
    2 I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain.
    2 When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush
    2 Of quiet birds in circled flight.
    2 I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    2 Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
