IN LOVING MEMORY In loving memory of Charles Beasley, April 2, 1986. Dot not stand by my grave and weep I am not there, 1 do not sleep. I and a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. 1 am the sunlight on rippened grain I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift unflinging rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. The Charles Beasley Family
