In memorial..

Grandma, N.P.
(14 august 1921 - 20 march 2009)

Grandma,
It is so hard to live the world without you...
your smile, your laugh, your courage, and your spirit will always
inspired us...
those we cherish will always live on in memories...
our prayer will always be with you...
for we believe that you are in heaven...
thank you for the love that we have shared together...

I Could

I could write you a letter,
But what would it say?
Could it make things better?
Would it make everything okay?

I could write you a song,
Full of love hope and grace.
Would you tell me what went wrong?
Could you say it to my face?

I could make a telephone call,
And listen as you cried
But i would not let you fall,
And if you did, we'd both know i tried.

I could make the world go away,
But would that be what you like?
You would miss the golden sunrays
You would miss the moonlight.

I could stop all this pain,
Bring it all to an end,
The tears would fall like rain,
On the shoulder of a dear friend.

Do not Stand

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain

When you wake from sleep in the early 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.
