Hopi Prayer

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 gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning 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.

We miss you Happy Birthday, Colleen and Monte

3-30-65 & 4-1-68
