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 sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumns rain.
  when you awaken in the morning hush;
  I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in the circles flight,
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there I did not die

A poem written for Samson on his         36th birthday.
               
Daddy's Gone
  I knew there would be a day when         you would die.
  I didn't want to lose you at 35.
But did you ever hear that song
         
The Good Die Young?
We had never said good-bye.
That's because I knew you didn't die.
You are in a better place,somewhere,    beyond space.
  I now know what you wanted me to      show.
  You're probably on a cloud, I hope I
make you proud.
  I'll be seeing you in the future.
          Happy Birthday Dad, from your son,Gale.
