Wisdom 4:7-15\r\nBut the just man, though he die early, shall be at rest. For the age that is honorable comes not with the passing of time, nor can it be measured in terms of years. Rather, understanding is the hoary crown for men, and an unsullied life, the attainment of old age…\r\n\r\n\r\nDo not stand at my grave and weep\r\nI am not there. I do not sleep.\r\nI am a thousand winds that blow.\r\nI am the diamond glints on snow.\r\nI am the sunlight on ripened grain.\r\nI am the gentle autumn rain.\r\nWhen you awaken in the morning's hush\r\nI am the swift uplifting rush\r\nOf quiet white doves in circled flight.\r\nI am the soft stars that shine at night.\r\nDo not stand at my grave and cry;\r\nI am not there, I did not die.
