1. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye
Kelsey Grainger

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