Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Condolence Card

The front of this condolence card has a beautiful scene of the ocean's waves approaching the shore and a bird flying in a spectacular orange sky as the sun sets low behind the clouds. Inside is a sympathy poem to help comfort those who have lost a loved one (person or pet): 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. This poem, written by Mary Elizabeth Frye, is a common reading at funerals.
