Poem on the death of a friend?

Question

I was asked to find a poem to read at the funeral service. Any ideas?? It should be on the religious side. Thanks!

Answer 1

Gone So Soon

by Damian

You took chances

Once too many times.

As a child you thought -

"Oh no, never me."

Life is a gift,

Given and taken at some



The Death of a Friend



The death of a friend

I try to be brave

But I can't stop the tears

When I visit His grave

Can He be replaced

I don't see how

He was my buddy

He was my pal

I am lonely at home

I am lonely at school

I miss my friend

He was so cool

I go to the park

I try to play ball

But is's not the same

Not at all

My minds a mess

My minds a haze

Lonely nights

And lonely days

I want my friend

I want Him back

The death of a friend

Unknown time.

Your time came too soon -

Your life was over in a flash.

The fun you shared,

The joy you brought,

All just a memory -

Behind us.

Answer 2

To a dear friend who passed away

the tears I cry, I want to say

As you go to heaven

I hope soon we will see each other again

The lord will look after you

as well as me during this ordeal I am going through

or

The time has come as the lord takes over

you are now with him

and he will look after you

as you go to heaven

the angels will sing too

However you died in heaven

there is no pain,

The tears will signify my missing you

Until one day I get to heaven

so we can be together again.

Answer 3

A lot of things to remember...

Oh a lot...

To the things we've done together...

To the things we didn't do together...

We were always together...

Always....

Answer 4

Remember

Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more, day by day,

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.
