I'll not stand at your grave and weep,
You are not there You do not sleep.
In my heart, you are the thousand winds that blow
You are the diamond glints on snow
You are the sunlight on ripened grain
You are the gentle autumn rain.
When I waken in the morning's hush,
You are the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight
You are the soft star that shines at night.
I'll not stand at your grave and cry
you are not there You did not die.

I am sorry to hear of Joel's passing. I grew up down the street from Joel and went to school with him when we were young. I am keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers.
