I am with you still

In one of the stars I shall be living.
In one of them I shall be playing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were playing
when you look at the sky at night.
And when your sorrow is comforted
you will be content that you have known me.
You will always be my friend,
and I yours.

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 glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake 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 think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
