"Requiescat in pace"

Time flies as the saying goes and yet it can stand still. The holiday season is one of joy mixed with a hint of sadness. You see, it was four years ago today that I said farewell to the most influential person in my life ~ my dad.

Vaya con Díos!


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 the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of birds circling in flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
