Treasured moments ron tranmer8/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Hi there, I was looking for a few nice poems for Aunties and Cousins to place on a Christian memorial website and noticed you could do with some help. Thanks to Michelle and Samantha for finding these poems. She learned and taught, loved and played, She taught them courage, strength and faith, Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.Ĭhange the name, age and gender for your own situation So when a little child departs, we who are left behind The saddest word mankind knows will always be “Goodbye.” To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.īelieving this is difficult still somehow we must try, God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.įor no heartache compares with the death of one small child When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, How long, how brief, how great, how small. ![]() It’s dedicated to the memory of her sister, Angela Moylett-īut I just asked the Lord to keep me strong. Thanks to Gladys for contributing this poem. ![]() Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,Īnd,which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son! With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, If all men count with you, but none too much: If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, To serve your turn long after they are gone,Īnd so hold on when there is nothing in youĮxcept the Will which says to them: “Hold on!” If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew If you can make one heap of all your winningsĪnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,Īnd lose, and start again at your beginnings,Īnd never breathe a word about your loss: ![]() Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,Īnd stoop to build’em up with worn-out tools Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterĪnd treat those two impostors just the same If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim, If you can dream-and not make dreams your master Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Īnd yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,īut make allowance for their doubting too: If you can keep your head when all about you Thanks to Jason for contributing this poem Some of the poems here are suitable for memorials, some are better at funerals and some can be read at either or both ceremonies.Īnd from all beings that crowd life’s land Instead of just picking out something, I recommend you use this page to get you inspired to come up with some ideas of your own. I have listed some of the more popular funeral poems, readings and verses that can be heard during a funeral service. It’s also nice to remember a person by playing their favourite piece of music or reading a poem they liked, even if it doesn’t go along with the same theme as the rest of the service. Children need to express their feelings too, so you could make it a family project. You could write your own poem, describing the characteristics or cherished memories that you have of your loved one. The most memorable and touching funerals I have ever attended are the ones where family and friends have written their own funeral poems, songs and eulogies instead of using the same ones that everyone else uses. So you are planning the service and you are wondering what funeral poems readings or verses to use? ![]()
