Alicia's Poem

It is a very moving poem, however the original version is by Mary Frye who supposedly wrote it for a friend who felt unable to visit her mother in Germany because of the anti-Semantic feelings there...

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Greetings... As I was travelling to Stormwind to check out some items, I noticed this exclamation point in the courtyard, so I went to investigate. I found this little girl and it puzzled me at first. I took the quest and the poem and wondered what it was all about. I checked here and WOW. After reading the posts, I immediately used Astral Recall and went right to Caylee.

It was also my 1000th quest turn in. I had to post this, because its very moving, being a survivor of Cancer twice at the age of 32.

And even though I did not know the player personally or in game, I teared up knowing that a company such as Blizzard has done such a beautiful thing.

Life isn't about what you can get out of it, it's what you put into it.
