I forgot to include the poem Kathryn Joosten's character recited when Felicity Huffman scattered the ashes on Desperate Housewives last night. The poem, Do not Stand at my Grave and Weep, is attributed to Mary Frye:
R.I.P., Ida....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 sun 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.
