I saw a mound of dirt, And a grave stone left bare. No body was around, All I did was stare. Why no writing I thought. Surely he led a life, Good for a word or two, On a blank grave stone. I guess I'll never know Why they bought a stone. Left it blank in hatred, Why was he ever born? Poor soul, now has been judged. Maybe he repented Before he left this earth. A blank tombstone says so much.

This tombstone is not blank. Use the eye of spirit.
...Look again George and...see...clearly... what it says:

"Do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint of snow
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am bright stars that shine at night
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gently autumn rain.
Do not stand on my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep".
-Mary E. Frye.

With warm regards Isabella.
