Best Poems for Funerals
**

Now you have to let me go
Over in a twinkle of an eye;
I know the way you know;
All of us journey when we die.

No more pain and sorrow
That's left on planet earth;
I've loved every second with you
I've been happy my love for all it's worth

So when your earthly deeds are done
I'll be waiting at the gates;
For us to be together again
In Gods time we have to wait.
Maggie-May

When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments it’s pleasant to recall
But not for long
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living
Indian prayer

Solitude

Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For sad old earth must borrow it’s mirth,
But has trouble enough of it’s own.
Sing,and the hills will answer;
Sigh,it is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice,and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they will turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure.
But they do not need your woe.
Be gald, your friends are many,
Be sad,and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.

Feast,and your halls are crowded,
Fast,and the world goes by.
Succeed and give – and it helps you live,There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and worldly train
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Ella Wheeler Cox

Best Poems for Funerals
If I could tell You

Time will say nothing but I told you so
Time only knows the price we have to pay
If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

There are no fortunes to be told, although
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so
If I could tell you I would let you know.
W.H.Auden

It's been a long road that we have travelled
And now you're going on alone;
I don't know how I'll carry on
With this heart of mine turned to stone.

I miss you with my every heartbeat
With my every single waking second;
My tears have dried up for now
But very soon they will be beckoned.

At a smell or a sound, a tune or a taste,
The floods of tears return;
I will soon be carrying you for the very last time
When you have been placed inside your urn.
Maggie-May

So what is love?

So what is love?If thou wouldst know
The heart alone can tell
Two minds but with a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one.
And whence comes love? Like morning bright
Love comes without thy call
And how dies love? A spirit bright
Love never dies at all.
Maria Trovell

The Life that I Have

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours

A sleep that I shall have
A Rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours
Leo Marks

Adieu & Au Revoir

As you love me, let there be
No mourning when I go,
No tearful eyes,
No hopeless sighs,
No woe, nor even sadness!
Indeed I would not have you sad,
For I myself shall be full of glad,
With the high triumphant gladness of a soul made free
Of God’s sweet liberty
No windows darkened:
For my own

Best Poems for Funerals

Will be flung wide as ne’er before,
To catch the rqadiant inpour
Of Love that shall in full arone
For all the ills that I have done:
And the good things that I have left undone:
-No voices hushed:
My own full flushed
With an immortal hope, will rise
In ecstasies of new born bliss
And joyful melodoies.
Rather, of your sweet courtesy,
Rejoice with me
At my soul’s loosing from captivity.
Wish me Bon Voyage
As you do a friend
Whose joyous visit finds its happy end.
John Oxenham
