    Full Poem:
    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.

    My step father died in January, although he was not my father it felt like one, he was a gentleman, he gave instead of receiving, he was a rock, he loved us, i have almost no words to describe what he was, who he was , only that, men like him are very rare, why do the best persons in this world go early, and the ones who stay in this world are the bad ones?
    i want to be like him, but im not even a sinch of what he was, he lived life, every bloody second of it, and on his last days he fought like no other, my respects to him, now he is with his friends, on the eternity, on those soft stars in the night, he is not anymore, but i hope he can be alright wherever he is.

      Sorry for your loss. I know what it's like, and ponder the same question. Perhaps those who have more to learn here stick around longer, and those (older souls) who evolve (spiritually) beyond the average, move on where greater growth can occur. If you want to be like him, it is within you. It must be. The fact that you admire his qualities so much is a sign (takes one to know one). Do it for him/his legacy if not for you more importantly. As they say "When the student is ready, the master appears." I think it's also true that when loved ones leave us they're giving us the opportunity to become the rock they were.

    Let it not be a death but completeness.
    Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
    Let the flight through the sky end
    in the folding of the wings over the nest.
    Let the last touch of your hands be gentle
    like the flower of the night.
    Stand still, O Beautiful End,
    for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
    I bow to you and hold up my lamp
    to light you on your way."

    today is my birthday 30.03.21
    i dont know why i am writing this.
    listening to this bittersweets words
    probably did let me writing out my heavy weight on my soul.
    i always was so sad hearing tragedys from other familys,or friends ,and i asked my self ,Oh god what kind of pain
    do they have to go through,?
    we are...we were three happy brothers and very close brothers.
    the third one,our youngest brother went to heaven on his birthday,.at 03.02.21 in his sleep.
    And our world colapsed
    they say time heals all wounds
    .Ours has stopped.
    the powerlessnes and this inner pain,the defeaning silence consumes,every act ,every thought,every look.
    nothing is as it used to be.
    like waking up in a paralel reality
    i gave a final speech when we
    said goodbye to him,it ended,
    with:
    my lovely little brother.
    you have been an Universe without
    begining and an end .
    a figure like a bear and big dark eyes of a child.
    may you dance and fly with thousand beautiful angels,till
    eternity ,discovering all the secrets of time and space.
    await us.
    we will love and miss you till our last breath,beyond time ends.
    I love you little brother.“
    I said may you Rest in Peace
    when we said goodbye to you
    but you are not that one ,resting in peace,you have never been,u are to curious and impatient for that.
    i know you are on your Road .
    while i am missing you and burning,writing this.
