at school - it always made me so sad.
yesterday was rememberance sunday here and i watched it all from beginning to end for the first time - glad i did - i can understand why we have it now - next year i will wear my poppy.

Do not stand beside 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 the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight;
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand beside my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
~~~ Mary E.Frye, 1932 ~~~
