Grave Conversation

The flowers stopped growing one day
in mid bloom in the month of May
Seems the whole world stood still that day
When the Lord came and took you away
The flowers since have grown and died
I count the days by how often I've cried
I still can't believe it deep down inside
you're gone I know even though I tried
to hope and pray you back each and every day
and I just wanted to say
that I miss you so very much.


Don't stand weeping at my grave
Don't waste your tears on me there
I have gone and have been long gone
I have been everywhere
On the breath of the winds that blow
In the rain that falls from above
and snow that covers the ground
I'm in the bright sun's rays
on every summer day
I'm in the crispness of autumn
and the clouds that push the sun away
I'm in warmth of the morning light
I've soared high with birds in flight
Don't stand at my grave and cry
Don't waste your tears on me
For I did not die.
