Not only did my husband completely agree with this poem, he changed it ever so slightly to make it his own for his elegy!

When I die there will be no stone or grave Look at my art, read a poem, be brave Do not worry about me, I will be recycled soon I am in the stars, the air, the trees, breeze and the moon. Dying is the beginning of our real life. I will be free to zoom and dance and have no strife. When I go, know I will be watching you forever more. For I am your mama, and you I do adore.

Beautiful...and so true. I tell everyone no mourning when I go, because I'll be happy and I'll be back. Just keep a watch out for me!

That is what I tell them too. I cannot wait until one of my grandchildren looks into a newborn's eyes and recognizes me again.
