Short Memorial Poems
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Your life was a blessing,
Your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure.
Gone, yet not forgotten;
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
You left me many memories;
Your love is still my guide.
And though I cannot see you,
You're always by my side.
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again.
You are not forgotten, loved one;
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last,
We will remember thee.
A silent thought, a secret tear,
Keeps your memory ever dear.
Time eases the edge of grief;
Memory turns back every leaf.

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. - Johann Friedrich Von Schiller

Dads are strong for a reason. Their strength gives us a sense of protection. Now that you are in heaven, Dad, I know that you will continue to protect me. Thanks for being my Dad!
What I'd give if I could say,
"Hello, Dad!" that same old way.
To hear your voice, see your smile,
To sit with you and talk a while.
So you who have your Father,
Cherish him with care.
For you will never know heartache
Until you see his vacant chair.
We love you
We miss you
We grieve you
And so,
We live our lives
To make you proud.

Our lives, from day to day.
But our memory of you, my dear,
Shall never pass away.
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you
I could walk in my own garden forever.
- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms,
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love and miss her;
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
For I am missing her today...
- Anonymous
You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
- Traditional Irish Funeral Prayer

Grandpa has ears that truly listen,
Arms that always hold,

A heart that's made of gold.
A golden heart stopped beating;
Hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
We had a wonderful grandfather,
One who never really grew old;
His smile was made of sunshine,
And his heart was solid gold;
His eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in his cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandfather,
And that’s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
He’s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let’s make sure
He will like what he sees.

Her memory we shall always keep.
Every day, in some small way,
Memories of you come our way.

Still missed, still loved, and ever dear.
In our home she is fondly remembered,
Sweet memories cling to her name;
Those who loved her in life sincerely,
Still love her in death just the same.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye;
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
There is a sad but sweet remembrance.
There is a memory fond and true;
There is a token of affection, daughter,
And a heartache still for you.
Yes, sadly we miss her, and try not to grieve;
A little while longer we too must leave,
To meet her on that beautiful shore
Where parting's unknown and life's evermore.
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same;
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you,
Silent the tears that fall;
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true:
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

Your memory a treasure.

But you didn't go alone.
Part of me went with you
The day God called you home.
Goodbyes are not forever;
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again.
Now cracks a noble heart.
Good night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
