Do Not Stand By My Grave Poem by piumi wijenayake

Do not stand by my grave

Do not stand by my grave
And, weep all day along
Cause, I am not there
I do not sleep in that cold harsh pit

I am the breeze that linger around you
I am the shadow that walks behind you
I am your invisible protector
that protects you from every danger

I am light that gives you hope
I am your wings that carry you
Carrying you for your destiny
I am the sunlight that gives you warmth

Do not stand by my grave
Nor, shed a tear
My soul does not lie within it
It lies within the gates of heaven

So, do not stand by my grave
Cause, I am not there
