I give you this one thought to keep,

I am with you still, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on the snow.

I am as sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain when you awaken in morning hush.

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone,

I am with you still in each new dawn.
