Two Poems from our Funerals Poetry Collection

 
 
AT YOUR FUNERAL
   
Author: Rhian Davies
   
Poem:
AT YOUR FUNERAL
   
  We all stood there
Tissues in our hand
Why has this happened?
I don’t understand

Time went so quick
And you got so ill
I’ve always loved you
And always will

The vicar stood in your room
From the book he read a verse
Then we took you back outside
And put you in the hurse

As we drove down in big black cars
Every one we passed stopped to stare
Then we arrived at the church
It was packed in there

I sat up front and sang the hymns
I sang every word
It was the most beautiful sound
I have ever heard

Then we got back in the car
And drove up to the grave
I put a red rose in my hand
That was the gift I gave

I will always love you was played
Before we all said goodbye
You wouldn’t want me to be upset
And believe me I did try

I then went down to have a look
At all your beautiful flowers
I couldn’t read the little tags
It would have taken hours

After that the night went on
Over at the pub
I looked over to the table
And laid out was your grub

It was a sad day but it was good
If you know what I mean
And it’s by far the nicest funeral
That I have ever been.

MEMORIES, THEY LAST
   
Author: Brooklyn Miller
   
Poem: MEMORIES, THEY LAST
   

There's no changing destiny
with beginning, there is end,
That is the way it will always be,
for everything, my friend...
But for reasons we can't explain
makes it so hard to understand,
Sometimes destiny brings such pain
without want or demand...
And with pain there is always loss
of the loved-ones, we must let go,
On the grave, the rose you toss
falling down to the coffin below...
Leave their souls to rest in peace,
let just their memories live on
Slowly the pain, of their loss will decrease
just as night-time falls to dawn...
Someday, we may learn to live
in the present and not the past,
Cherrised memories, loved ones give
life may end, but memories, they last....
