Think this si the right place for this.

It is an anonymous poem that was found in the belongings of a ssoldier killed in Northern Ireland. No one knows who worte it but it ahs been around for years. It won the BBC Nation's favourite poem award but was disqualified as it was anonymous.

Do not stand by my grave and weep,

I am not there.

I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush,

I am the swift up-flinging rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry.

I am not there.

I did not die.
