I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; When you awaken in the morningΙΉs hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die." (Author Unknown)Arrangements by: GABALDON MORTUARY 1000 Old Coors Rd SW 243-7861
