Hi
I was wondering if i could have some opinions of this poem i have written for my Nan's funeral, 3 people have said its really good so i thought id share:

I awoke that day feeling groggy,
The sky was grey and the weather foggy,
Mum said you were ill, Dad did too,
It was hard to take in but I knew it was true,
So I sat by your bed, and held your fragile hand,
Your pulse running strong but slowly dying down,
And it was then that you fell asleep and God took you to his land.

But even though you are not near,
And we cannot touch or see you,
A person like you will always be here,
We know that much is true!

And as we all sit here today,
This is what we must say:

‘God saw that you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
He then put his arms around you,
And whispered come to me,
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And have seen you pass away
Although we love you dearly,
We couldn’t make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.’

A women like you is hard to loose,
Hard to leave,
And even harder to forget,
Our Nan forever,
And a women I’m glad to have met.

tis really beautiful

i lost my nan some time back and i couldnt even goto the funeral as she was in doncaster and i had to stay at home and look after things while my mum and dad and sister went. course...nobody really wants to goto a funeral but that is just one of those factors in life which 99.9999999% of us have to face usually.
