Do Not Cry, a poem by Jennifer Margaret Mcphillips, Scotland Other Funerals Poems Other Not Categorized Poems DUAL CATEGORY THIS POET COUNTRIES Categories: Funerals Poems & Not Categorized Poetry Viewed 27125 times Author: Jennifer Margaret Mcphillips, Scotland Share Poem Do Not Cry Do not cry for me, my dear… My last wish is for you to carry me with the breezes when they swirl delicately beneath the storms you’ll gather amidst your spirit. As rain pelts harshly against your heart, let the soothing trickle calm your soul. When you feel like you’re drowning, lay down quietly and savour the tranquillity of memories, allow them to cleanse your pain. I’ll speak to you through nature’s gifts and I’ll never be far from your door. When colourless clouds surround your mind, I’ll paint them brightly with tones of love. I’ll ask the birds who sing so sweetly if I can borrow their voice to remind you I haven’t gone far. Every leaf or feather you see floating is me, asking you not to cry. Each pebble you see washed upon the shore is your reminder that I didn’t die. The rippling waters are my giggles and the wave-tops are me saying hello. Never forget how much I love you… I’ll be here ‘till you ask me to go.

Soon after reading it I was greeted outside my window by a small green hummingbird (at my home near Boston, Massachusetts in the USA) and started to cry at the thought that my late mother had something to do with its presence. Thank you! USA 8/28/2007 3:05:28 PM Carys I am planning a memorial service for my step-grandad, because I couldn't be at his funeral. A few of us are releasing balloons from a hill.

USA 4/22/2007 6:57:33 PM Tom Henvey Heard it today for the first time on 'Silent Witness' on BBC America. I Googled "do not cry" and came up with the poem. I will read it at my father's funeral. I am not religeous and it says what I believe: solace and souls are in the minds of those who live which has nothing to do with the bodies that die. Thank you. -th USA 4/22/2007 4:12:36 PM Gail Lovely poem. Australia 3/21/2007 3:10:13 AM Kristine Trudeau Jennifer: This is truly a beautiful poem. Colorful, symbolic, poetic, perfect.
