Funeral poems for family

Child's letter from heaven

- by Sarah Cole 59

Mommy please don't cry for me
Tell Daddy to not be sad
Tell my brother and sister
To remember all the fun we had

Tell Grandma I'll miss her cookies
and Grandpa's stories too
Tell everyone I miss them
And I'll be watching over you

Don't shed a tear for me because
I'm not with you on earth tonight
But I'm watching over from the clouds
With the stars as my flashlight

I know you'll miss me terribly
But we'll be together again you'll see
For now I'll wait for you in Heaven
While the angels take care of me.

Five minutes

- by Annmarie Campbell 58

In Memory of My Dad Edward

If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.

I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be.

The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.

If I only had five minutes,
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.

But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.

Dedicated to my dad Edward Hudak - died 8-29-08
