29 Memorial Poems
When someone we love passes we look to find ways to express ourselves and finding memorial poems for a funeral or a sympathy card can sometimes be difficult if you are looking for something that speaks about the deceased.Allow these memorial poems to help you find the words you need to express the way you are feeling or to help someone else deal with the grief they are feeling. Memorial poems are best when written with some knowledge of the deceased but sometimes you can find some generic memorial poems that speak right to you.
Think of memorial poems as a way to reach out with loving memories. Another way for memorial poems to be effective is for them to discuss where the loved one is now. If they were a believer in God, memorial poems can be a great way to remind them that this loving person is not gone forever, just for now.
However you decide to use, find or write your memorial poems, we hope this page is helpful now and in the future for each of your memorial poems needs.

Forever In Our Memory
Poet: Unknown
Just a thought of sweet remembrance,
Just a memory fond and true;
Just the love of sweet devotion
Of the ones who think of you.
No one knows how much we miss you;
No one knows the tears we shed.
But in Heaven, we hope to meet you,
Where no farewell words are said. - Too Pure
Poet: Unknown
No stain was on her little heart;
Sin had not entered there.
And innocence slept sweetly on,
That pale white brow so fair.
She was too pure for this cold earth,
Too beautiful to stay.
And so God’s Holy Angel bore,
Our darling one away.
We loved her while we had her,
We tried so hard to save;
No spot on earth is dearer now,
Than our darling’s little grave. - For My Wife
Poet: Unknown
The month of December again is here,
To me the saddest of the year;
For it was on this December day,
That my dear wife passed away.
I never will forget you, wife,
While in this life I stay;
My heart has never been the same,
Since you have passed away.
We do not know the pain you bore,
We did not see you die;
We only knew you passed away,
And could not say good-bye. - God's Garden
Poet: Louis C. Yoos
She is blooming in God’s garden,
Among the lilies fair;
God saw she was too good on earth,
So He transplanted her up there.
Can I help but feel so lonely,
When her voice I do not hear;
For no words were ever sweeter
Then the words of mother dear.
Though I see your face so sweetly near,
With tender love alight,
I think I hear you say,
I am over here,
Have faith, all will be right. -
Heaven Can Heal
Poet: Unknown
Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
I think of her in silence, no eye can see me weep.
But many silent tears are shed when others are asleep.
What would I give to clasp her hand, Her happy face to see.
To hear her voice and see her smile that meant so much to me.
The years may wipe out many things, but this they wipe out never.
The memory of those happy days when we were all together. -
Book Of Life
Poet: Unknown
We may write our names in albums,
We may trace them in the sand;
We may chisel them in marble
With a firm and skillful hand.
But these pages soon are sullied,
Soon each name will fade away;
Ever monument will crumble,
As all earthly hopes decay.
But mother dear, there is an album,
Filled with leaves of snowy white,
Where no name is ever tarnished,
But forever pure and bright.
In the book of life,
God’s album,
I know your name is wrote with care,
And may all who read this
Write their names forever there. -
Rest In Peace
Poet: Unknown
Rest in peace, thy cares are ended.
Rest in peace, thy work is done.
Thou art gone where those who loved you.
Soon are coming, one by one. -
Keep Her Jesus
Poet: Unknown
Keep her Jesus, in they keeping
Till I reach that shining shore.
Then, O Master, let me have her,
Love and keep her as before.
Her face my mind will ever see,
Forgotten she will never be. -
Gone But Not Forgotten
Poet: Unknown
Gone but not forgotten.
How I miss you, miss you more than I can tell;
Every hour and day that passes
Brings me nearer you to dwell;
Friends may think I'll soon forget you
And my wounded heart be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That is within my heart concealed. -
My Pet
Poet: Unknown
Oh, could I see my pet once more,
And hold him on my knee.
And feel his loving kiss on my hand,
How happy would I be.
-
My Mother
Poet: Unknown
A wonderful mother, woman, and aid,
One who was better,
God perfectly made.
A wonderful worker, so loyal and true.
One in a million, that mother was you.

God Called You Away
Poet: E. H.
The grief I suffered at your loss,
When God called you away,
Though its been one year ago
It remains as fresh as though ‘twas yesterday.
If I could have my dearest wish fulfilled
And take my choice of all earth’s treasures too.
Or choose from Heaven whatsoever I will,
I would ask for you. -
Perpetual Light Shine

With throbbing hearts and weeping eyes.
But now he calmly sleeps at last,
All pain, all grief, all suffering past.
Eternal rest, grant unto him, Oh Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him. -
The World Seems Like Another Place
Poet: Unknown
Weary, sad and heavy hearted,
Thus we pass each lonely day,
For our dear mother has gone before to show the way.
Just nine years of saddest longing for it is veiled
In that bright dawning where faith leads on to thee.
Thus ‘tis but a step to Heaven,
The house of dear ones gone beyond.
This blessed assurance to us is given,
Therefore I pray Thy will be done.
Gone, dear mother, gone forever.
How we miss your smiling face,
But you left us to remember,
None on earth can take your place.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left a loneliness the world can never fill.
What would we give her hand to clasp,
Her patient face to see.
To hear her voice, to see her smile,
As in the days that used to be.
When a mother breathes her last farewell,
The stroke means more than tongue can tell.
The world seems like another place,
Without the smile of her dear face. -
Dear Brother
Poet: Unknown
No one knows the bitter pain,
I have suffered since I lost you,
Life has never been the same,
In my heart, your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true;
There is not a day, dear brother,
That I do not think of you. -
We Miss Her
Poet: Unknown
God knows how much we miss her,
Never shall her memory fade.
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where she is laid.

Left A Memory

They left a memory fair and sweet,
Its fragrance can never die;
Their lives were short but still complete,
When God called them on high.
Yes, we loved them oh, how dearly,
Words can faintly love express;
Our fond hearts beat too sincerely
Even in death to love them less. -
Sweet Remembrance

Just a thought of sweet remembrance,
Just a memory fond and true,
Just the love and sweet devotion,
Of the one who thinks of you.

The Memorial
Poet: Julie Hebert
I may not be so lucky, because I do not have you here,
But I consider myself lucky, for the memorial you've left behind.
My house is a memorial, for all the times you've spent with me,
My backyard is a memorial, for all the times you've watched me play.
Our car is a memorial, for all the trips we took together,
My lunch box is a memorial, for all the lunches you packed for me.
My bed is a memorial, for all the times you tucked me in,
My forehead is a memorial, for all the kisses you place on it.
Everywhere I look, I am reminded of you.
You will never be forgotten, for all the memories you have given me.
