Do not stand at my grave and weep

I love that poem. I think I first heard it a few years ago when the BBC did one of their Nations Favourite Poems programmes.
I remember hearing that one soldier who went off to fight in one of the World Wars left it in an envelope for his parents who found it after he died. It was thought that he wrote it, but an older copy of it turned up somewhere else.
It's beautiful. I think it points to that there's more to this world than the place where we are right now - that there's life after death and that going to a better place is possible to us all.

I love it too - and I've really tried to find an author to credit, but there are so many stories out there that I've just settled for 'anonymous'
