Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

Tears streamed down Remus's face. Lily and James where gone. Sirius was accused of helping murder them and was sent to Azkaban without a trial. Peter had mysteriously disappeared. Remus stood at the podium and took a deep breath.

'Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!'
