Funeral Poems

[hayley x]

Im not used to posting in this section, but id better get used to it. I was just wondering if any of you ladies are willing to share with me poems you used at your babies funerals or share and poems you like.

My baby boy died at 12 days old so I want a poem that will fit with this. I find it hard to find a suitable one, he didnt have a long life but he wasnt stillborn and there doesnt seem to be any poems out there for the 'inbetween' age. He died due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Thank you in advance for any help.

I am so sorry sweetie

Im still looking about for you, but I found this one and thought it was nice....

Every day I watch you
Tears flowing down your Cheeks
Silent Sobbing, Broken Heart
No words can bring Relief

Every Day I hold your hand
And whisper that Im here
I know that you cant hear me
But Mum, Im always near

Every day I blow you kisses
From the Fluffy Clouds
I send a kiss for Daddy too
I know I make him proud

Every day I send a sign
To show I love you so
I try to make you smile for me
Instead of feeling Low

Every day I smile at you
For all that you have done
To keep my precious memory alive
Im so glad your my mum

Ill keep looking....

♥Fell Pregnant With Sophie After Not Having AF for TWO Years..​

 

[Bunnipowder]

Hi My thoughts are with you and your family , I know what a awful time you are having. A few poems I find comfort in are

If I could visit heaven
even for a day
Maybe for a moment
my pain would go away
I'd put my arms around you
and whisper words so true
That living life without you
sure is hell to do
No matter how I spend my days
no matter what I do
No morning dawns or evening falls
when I don,t think of you.




This is for someone wonderful
As loved as one could be
For you were everything in life
You meant the world to me
And sometimes life can be unkind
When hearts are torn in two
But nothing ever could compare
To the pain of losing you
But all the love you left behind
Forever will live on
And so until we meet again
Rest peacefully
My little one xx





Time spent with you
Was so very precious
Even if only for a very short time
I hold a special memory
Close inside this heart of mine
To me you were very special
Much more than words can say
I still love you now little angel
And I'll remember you every day.*


:This one is my favourite as I read it at Callums funeral:

A Special Angel

There's a special Angel in Heaven
thats is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a nighttime shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
We held him every minute
for the end we all knew.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love.


I'll Carry You In My Heart
Why God takes the little ones
I swear I'll never know
You had so much life to live
It just wasn't time to go.
*
For comfort, now, I think of you
With tiny little wings
Up above, in a beautiful place,
Listening to angels sing.
You'll never know the pain I feel
The hurt you left behind
Oh, what I wouldn't give to hold you one more time...

I carried you in my womb,
Then I carried you in my arms
And now, until it no longer beats
I'll carry you in my heart...
-Jan Todd

Hope the day goes aswell as it could be, feel free to PM If you want to I have a few quotes and poems that I use in a scrap book in memory of my baby I too found it hard finding poems and songs in time for the funeral. I found alot of stuff after the funeral such as a song called "precious child" which is beautiful, its on youtube .

 

[Jkelmum]

It's time to say goodbye
and we don't understand why
today is the day we lay
our little man to rest
everyone knows he was the best
he was our miracle our dream come true
and we are here to comfort you
though today we say goodbye
just remember he never really dies
for in our hearts his spirit lies
if he could talk I know he'd say
mommy daddy please don't cry
for I am not gone imp flying high
imp that brand new twinkle in the sky
I know one day I'll see you again
and until then
hold your heads up high
and just remember imp standing by
for imp the light of the moon
and the sunlight in the sky
so please be strong and it won't be long
till we're together again
love your little man

I am so very sorry for your loss...

I have written this about my miscarriage,its kind of a song:

"Heya sugarplum only I can see you
In your bleeding dress & the violets in your hair
Nobody can understand
Nobody's listening to the whisperings
Softest noises swirling around the branches
Heya they tell me I don't have a big D
Always makes me think of daisies
No flowers of the underworld inside me
Does that mean I cannot sing to you now

Lonely Ghost you're not alone
I let my spark in those woods
hands on my ears
they won't make me forget you
Like you never existed
Lonely Ghost I love you

Hey Sweetie pie only I can tell you
The way I felt your soul
I will never forget
The way you made me feel
I miss you dear as the day goes by
They keep talking as nothing happened
I remember the snow she smiled under water
I remember her portrait as my precious secret
little bird fly in the silence you know where to meet in dreams

Heya April my little pumpkin
you're here with me
I can see your foot steps in the clouds
heya pumkin
one day we'll laugh together behind the fairy door
In the woods "

I wish I could help write a poem for your little soul but it's so personal
you know maybe you dont think of you as a poet, but you could just write how you feel
rhyme or not
just writing your love and light to him to wave goodbye

I am sending you my blessings and empathy

♥Fell Pregnant With Sophie After Not Having AF for TWO Years..She's My Perfect Miracle! Diagnosed With PCOS Dec 08. Just Started Metformin-Hoping For Regular AF's♥​

Awww thank you soo much for this poem i haven cried much today, just feel numb, but it made me cry, a good cry

just wondering how do you get your ticker to show when no one elses does?? i want mine to show too. xxx

 

[hayley x]

Thank you for all the lovely poems its amazing how hard they hit but how meaningful they can be at the same time, i really find some comfort in some of the poems, its almose like i couldnt have wrote it to fit alex more myself. so thank you soooo much xxxx

 

[mama2b]

I think all these poems are beautifully wrote.

I know id have a hard time choosing just one as they are all so touching.

How many can you have Hayley xxxx

 

[keldac]

this is the poem I carry around with me for my own daughter who died suddenly aged 6 weeks:-

Although we didn't get the chance,
to take your tiny hand
And lead you through the
childhood which together
we had planned

And though there really wasn't
chance to show you all the love
Now sent to you abundantly
borne upwards by the dove

Remember, Darling that
your tiny heart must know
That we will always treasure you
and your memory will grow



I'm so sorry for your tragic loss xxx

 

[keldac]

and another that was given to me after my daughter passd:-

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.

He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.

Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.

God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.

And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.

The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light

God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when

He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see

It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright

God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

 

[LoraLoo]

Its so hard trying to pick the right one isnt it, you just want everything to be perfect for them. I didnt have any poems at Eves funeral, I wanted to write one, but wASNT IN THE RIGHT STATE OF MIND, BUT I DO LIKE THIS ONE XXXXX

Daddy, please don't look so sad, and Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings us lullabies.

 

[LoraLoo]

Have also found a few more, I HTH hun, so sorry


Special Angel In Heaven

There is a special Angel in Heaven that is a part of us.
It is not where we wanted him ,but where God wanted him to be.

he was here but just a moment, like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven, he isn't very far.

he touched the heart of many, like only an Angel can do.
I would've held him every moment- if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message, to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel, and send him all my love.

My Mom is a Survivor

My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach that never wash away . . .
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others . . .a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom through Heaven's open door . . .
I try to tell her that angels protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her . . .or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her . . .and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says . . .no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If I had a rose for everytime I thought of you,
I'd walk through a garden forever!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Only The Best

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the BEST.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

~Author Unknown~

 

[Jemma_x]

Im so sorry for your loss , this is the poem we had at laurens funeral

Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.

God didn't take me cause He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious .. don't you see?

Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

 

[bigbelly2]

im sorry for your loss...

i thought id write something for you myself, my thoughts are with you...

no one can describe the love i feel for you,
your tiny hands, your perfect face, the smile i never knew.
perfection in a bundle, thats what youll always be
youl always be my baby, but now your flying free.

go play with the stars, and laugh out loud,
let your smile shine, ill be so proud.
my perfect little blessing for all to hear and see
one day wel be together, wel play, just you and me.

the time we spent with one another is engraved within my heart
ill always ask the question...why so soon did we have to part?
the pain inside that drives me, to speak your name each day.
will never ever leave me, even though thats hard to say

but i know deep down our love will grow
and get stronger day by day.
our hearts and souls will intertwine
and when i see the brightest star in the sky, ill know its mine.

mommys always here, ill never leave,
youll never be alone.
it may take time for us to meet again
youll still be perfect, just fully grown.

I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you must be in is unimaginable.

Just another poem for you sweetie

I thought of you

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And the day before that too

I think of you in silence
I often say your name
But all I have is memories
And your picture in a frame

Your memory is my keepsake
With which i'll never part
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart

I shed tears for what might have been
A million times i've cried
If love alone could've saved you
You never would've died

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No-one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The night God took you home.

 

[Snowball]

I'm so so sorry for your loss

A Snowdrop

The world may never notice
If a snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon,
But every life that ever forms
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

The little one we longed for
Was here and swiftly gone,
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on,
And though our arms are empty
Our hearts know what to do,
With every beat within our hearts
We say that we love you.

-------------------------------------------------

 

[Snowball]

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right
up to Heaven
And bring you back again.....
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone
before we knew it
And only God knows why......
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.....
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay...
