Not sure if this is in the appropriate forum, but I'll give it a go.
Does anyone know of the poem that goes something alongs the lines of, "...Do not cry, do not be sad, for I am just around the corner..." ?
I've tried searching for it on Google but haven't come across it yet. Apparently it's well known, so just wondered if anyone's familiar with it? Title and author would be good

You ain't been round here for ages have ya?
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling 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.
It is quite a nice one .. it was read at my Grandad's funeral..
The only other one i found searching was this one ..
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you,
W whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
without the trace of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
it is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity,
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner.
All is well.
Thanks anyway
