Javier Barriga

who left this world way too soon.....

REMEMBER ME

Do not stand on my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.


I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond's glint on snow.


I am the 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 stars that shine at night.


Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
