This Poem sums up what Pauline would tell each and every one of us at this time: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's rain.When you awaken in the morning hush,I am the swift uplifting rushof 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.
