Subject: something quiet for the passing of a friend

mary went to see ashley today to let him know hie friend patrick was no longer with us. he is of cource upset at losing patrick and was sadder that he never knew and could not be there to hold his hand, so to speak. i am posting these here to say what ashley is unable to say here himself. i never knew this young man either but another soul has passed across the divide and settled in it's new home. rest in peace patrick and may your family know peace and remember the son that brouht them pride and love.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

(Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

Mary Frye (1932)

Weep Not For Me

Weep not for me though I am gone;

into that gentle night.

Grieve if you will but not for long,

upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace,

my soul's at rest.

There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was blessed;

for all those many years.

There is no pain,

I suffer not,

The fear now all is gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts.

In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath;

remember not the strife.

Please do not dwell upon my death,

but celebrate my life.
