Do Not Stand Beside My Grave and Weep

Do not stand beside my grave and weep for I am not there for I did not die I am the air that surrounds you and the ground beneath you I am the tear upon your cheek and the sound of your weep I am the north and south and the change of seasons Oh how god knows I have left you with out reason Do not stand beside my grave and cry for I am not there For I Did not die This poem uses the line " Do not stand beside my grave and weep". It was inspiration from a famous poem by Mary Frye Titled "Don't stand beside my grave and weep for I am not dead, I do not sleep"
