Dad's Military Funeral

Kenneth James Childs military funeral at

Tahoma National Cemetery 3/16/2010 - Kent, WA.

The following poem was read during Dad's service....

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 mornings 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.
by Mary Frye
