I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in the snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn's 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. A tree will be planted in memory of Jocelyn Desrochers in the McKenzie & Blundy Memorial Forest.
