Services in the care of Nisbett Funeral Home Peterborough OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY 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 glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning 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. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above.
