From her daughter, Nancy Roberts
A Favorite Poem
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 sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s
hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
