Bliss

Do not stand At my grave and cry I’m no longer there But in the sky My body is restful And my mind is a drift The thought of a heaven Is all but a bliss I’m lost in the sunlight I’m playing in the grass And I realize heaven Is earth at our last So do not stand At my grave and cry I am not there I did not die…
