Funeral Friend
Getting ready for a funeral for a Christian friend, any ideas on a eulogy poem?
She was a wonderful person, whose life was built around church and family, esp. her 2 granddaughters.
Thanks to all for the lovely suggestions
Hi...condolences...but you may use the poem I wrote for my own mom. Have used it as a grief-enabler in hospice situations over the years pretty effectively. Pray it works as well for you (Included the intro for your reference only!):
When my mother died, even after a years-long battle with cancer, I was shattered by the loss…inconsolable…she was my mentor! BUT, "If your faith assures you she's in heaven, then what are the tears all about?!?" I hold an eternity with my God...and my predecessors...a hard-fought-for, cherished, and precious prize, but, in the interim, the answer lies below.
SELFISH TEARS
(I Eulogize My Beloved Mother - March, 1989)
Today we cry...must admit they're selfish tears.
You see...our faith assures your journey's done.
But it's not for you we mourn, at all, my dear;
It's for those of us you've left behind...alone!!!
We share your joy...share your happiness at rest,
Your painful fears now for forever stilled.
You've fought the good fight, passed the final test,
But you've left behind a hole that can't be filled!!!
So, until we each rejoin you some someday,
And, while your memory buoys us through those years,
We'll miss you...but continue on our way,
And, from time to time, we'll cry our selfish tears!!!
