For My Grams



Martha L. Phillips Grant
June 25, 1921 - August 27, 2012



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 circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

- Mary Elizabeth Frye

  1. It's interesting how linkwithin software shows your 2008 post of your other grandma. You're blessed to have had both of them in your life.

    You have my sincere condolences. Blessings to you and your family as you take care of arrangements and adjust.

    1. Yes, when my other grandma passed in 2008, I started to put up the photo and poem on her birthday. That poem was a real comfort to me during her memorial service. Thank you for your condolences.
