I Heard Your Voice In The Wind Today | Sympathy Funeral Poems

I Heard Your Voice In The Wind Today
(Sympathy Poems – Funeral Poems)

I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face ..
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky ..
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain ..
It seemed as each raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete ..
You may have died .. but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines
the wind blows
the rain falls ..
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all, my heart knows.

Epitaph For A Darling Lady | Sympathy Funeral Poems

Epitaph For A Darling Lady
(Sympathy Poems – Funeral Poems)

All her hours were yellow sands,
Blown in foolish whorls and tassels;
Slipping warmly through her hands;
Patted into little castles.

Shiny day on shiny day
Tumbled in a rainbow clutter,
As she flipped them all away,
Sent them spinning down the gutter.

Leave for her a red young rose,
Go your way, and save your pity;
She is happy, for she knows
That her dust is very pretty.

~ Dorothy Parker

As I Look Up To The Skies Above | Sympathy Funeral Poems

As I Look Up To The Skies Above
(Sympathy Funeral Poems)

As I look up to the skies above
The stars stretch endlessly ..
But somehow all those rays of light
Seem dimmer now to me.

As I watch the morning sun appear
The shadows still don’t fade ..
As if the brightest light of all
Was somehow swept away.

Though I see the branches swaying,
And watch their dancing leaves ..
The echoes carried on the wind
Don’t sound the same to me.

As I listen to the morning birds
Sing softly from afar ..
It seems to be a mournful tune
That echoes in my heart.

Another day has come again
As time moves surely on ..
But nothing now seems quite the same
To know that he is gone.

The days and weeks and months ahead
Will never be the same ..
Because a treasure beyond words
Can never be replaced.

The loss cannot be measured now
The void cannot be filled ..
And though someday the grief may fade
His mark will live on still.

For even with my heavy heart
I know that I’ve been blessed ..
To have been one who’s life he touched
With warmth so infinite.

Death Be Not Proud | Sympathy Poems Funeral Poems

Death Be Not Proud
(Sympathy Funeral Poems)

Death, be not proud
though some have called thee.

Mighty and dreadful
for thou art not so ..
For those whom thou, think’st
thou dost overthrow.

Die not, poor Death
nor yet canst thou kill me ..
From rest and sleep
which but thy pictures be.

Much pleasure .. then, from
thee much more must flow ..
And soonest our best men
with thee do go.

Rest of their bones
and soul’s delivery ..
Thou’rt slave to fate chance
kings and desperate men.

And dost with poison
war and sickness dwell ..
And poppy or charms
can make us sleep as well.

And better than thy stroke
why swell’st thou then?
One short sleep past
we wake eternally.

And death shall be no more
Death thou shalt die.

~ John Donne
