A Poem For Parents - Funeral Verses
That Matter
By Thomas Alan Lampsen
Every death is difficult. Every funeral is trying.
Dealing with the passing of parents, however, is
particularly intense. Many have found that poetry is a
perfect component of memorial services, but it can be
very difficult to choose a poem for parents.
Funeral poems are an important part of many services.
Poetry is a uniquely honest and direct means of
communicating emotions in a compelling fashion. People
have sought out great poems for memorials for centuries
and the tradition promises to continue.
Not all of us, however, are students (or even regular
readers) of poetry. It may appear as though it will be
almost impossible to find a poem. How can we attempt to
find the right poem for parents? Funeral poetry is not
our area of expertise. It seems like we are locked in a
very difficult situation, wholly unprepared to find what
we are looking for. In reality, though, that is not the
case.
Fortunately, the fact that so many before us have made
poems a part of services allows us to find the right
verses. There are many poems that have been at the
centerpiece of countless fine memorials. If you are
trying to find an appropriate poem, you should start by
examining easily found collections of these beloved
verses.
You can find the right words to be part of this
important ceremony. It may seem like a very daunting
task, but with a little investigation, even someone who
is barely acquainted with poetry can discover evocative
and beautiful material to express the complicated
collection of emotions involved in a family funeral.
Although this may very well be one of the more
emotionally charged and challenging situations you have
encountered, you can and will arrange a successful
memorial. If you plan on making poetry a part of your
family services, you will undoubtedly find the perfect
verses.
