Final goodbye.

by Gayle   Nov 12, 2004


I could feel the water in my eye,
The day you said your final goodbye,
Within a minute you drew your last breath,
Within a week laid to rest.
Along your grave stone you knew best,
For this is what you had written.
"do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not here I did not die,
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not here I do not sleep"
