Ickle Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 From UK Sheltie List 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 a diamond glint of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush. I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circle 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. Quote

Bensam Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 It's taken a while, but I'm getting smarter in my old age. Leaving Ickle's lovely posts till last, it's hard to read the others through tears :cry: Quote
Ickle Posted January 8, 2003 Author Posted January 8, 2003 Glad you all appreciate the poem It hits home for me today as I have just lost an 10 year old Japanese spitz who slipped away in his sleep.I miss him terribly already but I know he is happy with the other dogs at the bridge.
