Happy Veterans Day

Post by Lefty »

Thank you all who have served and all that are serving.




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 glints on snow.


I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.


Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.
