Funeral Poem for a Wife

Until The End

Until The End

You are my love, you are my life
You’re my best friend as well as wife,
I love and trust you with all that I am
You are the woman who's completed this man.
You gave your love yet stole my heart
You had me hooked right from the start,
Just one fleeting glance into your hazel eyes
Made me leave my old life, sever my ties.
Falling head over heels in love I can say
is an excellent thing to happen each day,
each smile that you give me and smile that you wear
Reveals that you love me and proves that you care.
Your immaculate body makes me proud to say
the woman you're looking at is my wife, Faye,
I can only keep trying so one day I may be
the man you already believe me to be.
I don't mind in the future if we find ourselves old
in some rundown apartment, penniless and cold,
As long as when my time comes, I can still hear
the hazel eyed woman whisper in my ear.
"I love you my darling and my heart is in two"
"But this means that half will go with you"
"Now close your eyes sweetheart, for now is the end"
"Goodbye darling husband, Goodnight dear friend"

Funeral Poems: 

Free as the Spirit Wolf

The moon was half the night you left,
Took to the sky with your last breathe,
The wind it whistled through your hair,
Your precious soul it filled the air.

You howled goodbye to those you love,
Ran through the clouds up way above,
The night was dark but you felt content,
‘Cause this is where the good ones went.

The ones you left, they mourn and cry,
They were not ready to say goodbye,
Your presence would fill the room with flare,
But now the room is cold and bare.

When laid to rest the moon was crescent,
And all the ones you loved were present,
Memories shared and stories told,
About your life from young to old.

One day our hearts will start to mend,
From losing a wife, a daughter, a friend,
And every time the moon is full,
We’ll raise our heads and we’ll see you.

Funeral Poems: 

Desolation

The stars no longer shine.
The clouds are grey and the fog has come down.
The wet mist of my tears are dark and foreboding,
And the future is unknown.

The birds sing no more.
The dawn no longer breaks, and the sunset is dim and dark.
The pain of my emotions knows no end,
And my soul continues to wail and groan.

The flowers no longer give off scent.
The perfume of joy no longer flows through my life.
I no longer look forward with anticipation,
Only look back with despair.

Unquenched longing is all I expect.
Blackness and fear are my emotions now.
My soul cries out for you, but all is desolate.
You are not there.

And Yet

And yet. Funeral Poems by Dick Underwood

There's an emptiness in my soul
Like the hunger pain of someone starving;
But I'm not hungry for food,
I'm hungry for you.

There's a blindness in my eyes
Like the darkness of someone who can't see;
But I'm not in the darkness of light,
I'm in the darkness of your absence.

There's a silence in my voice
Like the silence of someone who can't speak;
But I'm not silent through being mute,
I'm silent because I can't speak to you.

There's a deafness in my ears
Like the deafness of someone who can't hear;
But I'm not deaf through not hearing,
I'm deaf because I can't hear you.

There's a numbness in my touch
Like the numbness of someone who has lost all feeling;
But I'm not numb through loosing my feelings,
I'm numb through no longer being able to feel you.

And yet …

Your memory still feeds me.
I still see you in my mind's eye.
I still speak to you,
And I still see you in my dreams.
My heart is still warmed,
From the nearness of your love.

Death cannot take away
The memories we have shared;
And time will not destroy them either.

As long as I live,
My memories of you will bind us together.
Death can only separate us physically.
But emotionally, and lovingly, and spiritually,
We will continue living and growing old together.

Funeral Poems: 

Still I Will Love You

If my tears should dry,
And I no longer cry;
I will still love you.

If my heart should mend,
And from despair ascend;
I will still love you.

If my feet should take me new,
Along paths you never knew;
I will still love you.

If my mind should once forget,
It will remind me yet;
That I will always love you.

Funeral Poems: 

I Only Said I Love You

I only said "I love you",
If only I'd said more.
But in that phrase "I love you",
Is everything for sure.

It means I'll miss you dearly,
your voice and gentle touch.
It means I'll miss you daily,
so very, very much.

If I'd have had more warning,
I'd have told you such a lot,
But you went without the telling.
much more than just a jot.

If I had been more forthright,
And if I had made a start.
I'd have poured out words forever,
And told you all my heart.

But I only said "I love you",
If only I'd said more.
But in that phrase "I love you",
Is everything for sure.

Funeral Poems: 

I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colourful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place!

Legacy Of Love (for a Wife, Mother, Grandmother)

Funeral Poems : Legacy Of Love

Funeral Poem for a Wife, Funeral Poem for Mother, Funeral Poem for Grandmother

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.
