My Heart Shattered into a Million Pieces

Doris Irene Sheehan Punke

3/15/1935 – 12/11/2024

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 morning’s 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.

  1. I am so sorry, Heidi.  Thinking of you and your mom, and the blessing of the loving relationship you shared.  Peace be with you, my friend.
