https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-not- ... -and-weep/

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.

- Mary Elizabeth Frye


If one of y'all can do that clicky thang I'd appreciate it

Butch ain't never gonna be gone.

I heard butch an that monkey was headed west with the ragtop down searching for the lost dutchman

Amen to that. Making craft Hooch is a labor of love. There ain’t no shortcut to perfection.

If the majority of the posters who are expressing their opinions on a subject are wrong, that is still the consensus. That is why consensus doesn't hold much sway in my shed.
