I will be there when the darkness falls heavy, I will be the light that beams through shadows to help light the way. You may not see me but I am there, watching over all of you. I will be by your side when you graduate, I will be by your side when you jump for joy because you married the love of your life, I will be there when your children enter this world, and I will be there for you when you are scared to leave this world behind. I will be there for you whenever you need me, even if it’s to dance the midnight oil away because you had a hard day. I am always here for you. I love you” "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 morning's 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."
