I don’t want you to shed tears.

When I die, do not stand at my grave an shed tears

I don’t want to feel the sprinkle

I just want you to remember me dearly

I am always near and fearless

You will feel my present in the drifty air that go by

The tears and fear I want you to let it go bye, bye

Remember me like I was in your present

I’m only here in the desert.

Great job, ceegirl. I like the message you gave us about death. I will think about this when I think of people who are no longer with us.

You Just put something in my heart. My Mother said to me Do Not Stand At My Grave And Cry. To This Day. I can’t Stand it. Going to the Grave Yard. I still cry, but not there I do not know maybe because she said it. I don’t. But, I do cry. .
Thanks for sharing.
