Here’s a little poem that I wrote in my uncle's memory:
We are all here together as a family,
Sitting down yet again,
Bidding adieu to one more friend,
Another one,
Too old to stay
Tears are buried when I hear your name,
But my heart continues to feel the pain
Knowing you’ve come to an end,
Knowing we have lost another friend
Look down,
And you will see who really does care,
Can we have a minute to spare?
To think of our memories
To realize you have left us,
To realize you are not coming back,
Everybody in this room is thinking of you,
Now you are with your Mum & Dad,
My Grandpa, Grandma
Watching over
As we all sit here,
Lost in thoughts
You have gone to rest,
We need to realize
It is for the best,
May be it is a little hard for us to get through,
But it is something
We need to do.
