When I Finally Die...


This is something to keep in mind when I finally die. I'd like that.
I know these are some Irish works but don't know exactly name or authors.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.

I am the 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 waken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of gentle birds in circling flight...

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry —

I am not there... I did not die..."


And,

"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,

I took His hand and left it all...

I could not stay another day,

To love, to laugh, to work or play;

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

And if my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...

Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.

My life's been full, I've savoured much:

Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief —

Don't shorten yours with undue grief.

Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,

Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow."


Algo para ter em mente quando eu finalmente morrer. Gostaria disso.
Sei que são obras Irlandesas mas não sei os autores e nomes.
