Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
...to the scotch bottle!
I am in a thousand winds that blow,I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain,I am the fields of ripening grain.I am in the morning hush,I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds in circling flight,I am the starshine of the night.I am in the flowers that bloom,I am in a quiet room.I am in the birds that sing,I am in each lovely thing.Do not stand at my grave bereftI am not there.I have not left.-Mary Elizabeth Frye
...to the scotch bottle!
ps: Got this off this reddit. It is quite something to be faced with your own mortality. I highly recommend reading the whole post.
