I do not sleep






Seeing her parents despairing over her being in her deathbed,
She called out to her father n handed him a closed envolope.
And requested it to be opened only after her Death.


The day when the envolope had to be opened came.
Trembling n crying the father opened it.

The letter read:


Dearest ever mom n dad,

"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I m not thr, I do not sleep.
I m the sparkle in the snow.
I m ripple in the wave.
I m the cloud in the sky.
I m the dewdrop on the leaf.
I m the shredded leaves that blow.
I m the sunlight on growing grain.
I m the gentle summer rain.
I m the quiet bird of the night.
Circling about; Taking flight.
So do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep."


Please get these words engraved on my grave. I will not stand putting u through grief anytime.
Loadsa love,
Emma.






P.S : Based on the poem " Do not stand at my grave and weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye
