    My four year old daughter. A red headed little girl with the heart of a valkayrie passed March 5,2017 I just found this song today and the image as i sat there and listened over and over brought me such peace I can't describe it. Thank you so much for sharing this song. Without the melody you put it to I don't think it would have given such a healing moment for me. I thank you.
    I could see my daughter fully grown the wind talking her long vibrant red hair and blowing it gently waking over a bridge spanning a great canyon filled with mist to Valhalla. The lush green rolling hills that would cushion you better then the best bed with little white flowers all over. The scent of freshly fallen rain filling the air. I could see the other warriors in Valhalla standing there, some with spears beating the ground, some with sword and shield moving to meet with each note of the drums in the background as they waited for my daughter to join them.
    Your words made this image so vivid in my mind that it was almost more real then right now. The combination was pure magic. This song I can't say enough about. Thank you for a wonderful cover that brought some peace to a broken hearted mother.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there. I do not sleep.
    When you awaken in the morning's hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    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.
    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there. I do not sleep
    When you awaken in the morning's hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    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.
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Oh, Do not stand at my grave and cry;
    I am not there. I did not die.
    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.
    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there. I do not sleep.

    Leah, My wife died at the end of may, She was 62. I wrote a Eulogy and this verse. If you like it, you are welcome to use it. I've taken to writing a lot of verse of late. Some of it reasonable some probably cheesy. Here is that verse.
    Please do not weep for we must depart.
    I'll always be there, there in your heart.
    A little tiny piece, a tiny little part.
    Of the friendship and love we did impart.
    When you're sitting silent.
    I'll suddenly be there.
    Right beside you in that chair.
    Bringing you thoughts and memories of times gone by.
    Where we did laugh and we did cry.
    Please remember me with happiness.
    And please do not distress.
    For I've not gone I'm just unseen.
    And your sadness will only demean.
    The memory of all we've had.
    So please please don't be sad.
    Stephen Murray.

    The author, Mary Elizabeth Frye, composed this poem in a moment of inspiration, and scribbled it on a paper bag. She wrote it to comfort a family friend who had just lost her mother and was unable to even visit her grave. The year was 1932. While the poem isn't Celtic in origin, it's from the U.S., the words are definitely universal and they sound phenomenal with with Celtic arrangements.

      Though a modern work, it is connected with a style traditional to not only Celtic, but also Indo-European, culture. This it resonates with our most ancient heritage. The Song of Tuan from Old Irish literature is an example; and it even resembles in style a section of the Bhagavad-Gītā, as well reflecting the teachings of the Gita.

      Actually she didn't do any of those things because she didn't write it. It was written by Clare Harner on 1934. You just repeated an urban myth about plagerism.

    I really can't believe my dad is gone. He's really gone.
    He is now up with God in heaven.
    Finally, he will see Jesus face to face
    Yes, it is, it’s tough for those left behind.
    As for him, well I know Jesus is there with open arms and looking forward to seeing him.
    And now mom, his parents and his brother, uncles, aunts and many others will be there to rejoice to his welcome home party.
    Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, for being my comforter, for being my savior, for being my Lord and God. It gives me joy, and I rejoice.

      Kimberly Landis The suffering either makes us strong or we succumb to it. I had no time to grieve for any of them. For my husband left me with two sons - 1 just 6 years old and the other 3. And since I worked for my state's welfare board 300 other families to worry over and take care of. As a client told my supervisor one day "Don't get rid of Ms Triplett. She's a leader, helper, and inspiring. We thought we had it bad until we heard her story after seeing the photos of her sons. How she does it we don't know. But she's inspired us to pick up the pieces and carry on." Guess it comes from a life time of service but if you ever need a shoulder I'm still strong enough to be there for you.

    I am the soft star that shines at night.
    Oh, Do not stand at my grave and cry;

    Die.

    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

    Words cannot accurately describe the pain of how he must feel, and feelings of helplessness by his friends, who are left wanting to hug her/or him
