Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain.
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.

Thanks, DKM, Sophia & buns! The poem is perfect. We’re sure Bonnie is happily bossing everyone around at the Rainbow Bridge, and if we spend too long in sadness, she’s gonna find a way to whap us. She loved her snuggle blanket very much. Try to remember her with smiles. She was quite a character. ((hugs))
