Eulogy for a Veteran

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.

I'm about 65 miles south of Buffalo , N. Y and we have a reputation of having bad winters. This year I think Philadelphia, Pa is tring to out do us. Hang on it's headed your way again.
Maybe you should get a bigger snow shovel.

OK...I give up....how did we go from a eulogy for a veteran to shoveling snow?

[Roberto T. Cast]

To tie them together, we need an eulogy for the snow.
