These were simple, raw emotions of a stranger, so I don’t think I can put a specific rating or stars on it. The only thing we know about him is that he was a soldier and he had left this poem for his loved ones before he was killed by an exploding mine near Londonderry in 1989. It was written by an author who is still unknown to this day. The poem wasn’t heartbreaking at all in fact it felt quite uplifting. It was also a quick read – 2 minutes, exactly, so I read it a few more times to enjoy the soothing, sad-happy feeling it immersed me in. In fact, I heard the birds chirp and fly away in flocks, and heard the winds blow and the raindrops pitter-patter on puddles as I read through the book in a warm and sunny side of the world. The poem wasn’t heartbreaking at all in fact it fel Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep was a sweet, soothing book of poetry, and the illustrations within made it even better.
