I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you waken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in 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. Funeral Home: R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Home and Cremation Services 15451 Farmington Rd.
