My Mum was my best friend, my soul mate, "THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS"

This poem was very special to me and Mum, it's what we believe:

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 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.

Those we love don't go away they walk beside us everyday, miss you mum,can't wait to see you again one day, love always Deb xx

My mum seems so far away from me,

On that beautiful white shore across the sea,

Yet I remember love's soft glow upon her face,

and the feel of her touch and tender embrace.

When I am weary from the burden's I've borne,

and the path is unclear and I feel so forlorn

I remember her loving support was always near

and the advice made the path ahead seem clear.

When I feel there is no one who seems to care

or when the heartache seems too hard to bear

I remeneber how she always stood by my side

and would tenderly wipe away the tears I cried.

When there are moments of great joy and pride

and I wish my mum was standing at my side

I remember she saw more than I thought I could be

and know I owe my triumphs to her belief in me.

When I reminisce about the things she used to say

and I miss her and think she is so far away

I remember what she gave lives on through me

and one day I'll see her on the shore across the sea.
