Arrangements by Hampden-Gilpatrick Funeral Home, 45 Western Ave., Hampden.Please don't weep on my graveI'm gone but near, so please don't weep on my grave for me.I'm gone, but I'm everywhere, look around and you'll see me.While out in the garden , amongst the flowers. Take a good look at the brightest. That could be meLook in the sky, I may be sleeping on a cloud as the breeze pushes us by.That ray of sunshine, that shines in the room, feel me there?The birds in the trees, as they sing a Spring tune, I'm sure to be there. Feel the Sun on your back, or a gentle breeze on a warm Summer's day.Check for me amongst the new fall leaves, on a crisp Autumn day.I could be the whistle around the house on a cold Winter night.Or one of the glints out on the new fallen snow.Don't be sad, or weep on my grave for me.I'm not gone, I'm everywhere, just look around you and you'll see.
