" IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF STRENGTH TO HANG ON - IT TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH TO LET GO"
THOUGHT THIS WAS PERFECT!

Below is a poem that has been posted a few times. I think it is uplifting, and hope someone sees it for the first time today:
DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE & WEEP
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 sun 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.
