Irish Wake Song

Look at the coffin, with golden handles Isn't it grand, boys, to be bloody well dead?

Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a bloody good cry And always remember: The longer you live The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

Look at the flowers, all bloody withered Isn't it grand, boys, to be bloody-well dead?

Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a bloody-good cry And always remember: The longer you live The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

Look at the mourners, bloody-great hypocrites Isn't it grand, boys, to be bloody-well dead?

Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a bloody-good cry And always remember: The longer you live The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

Look at the preacher, bloody sanctimonious Isn't it grand, boys, to be bloody-well dead?

Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a bloody-good cry And always remember: The longer you live The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

Look at the widow, bloody-great female Isn't it grand, boys, to be bloody-well dead?

Let's not have a sniffle, let's have a bloody-good cry And always remember: The longer you live The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

And always remember: The longer you live... The sooner you'll bloody-well die!

Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal

Lots more Sympathy Poems

We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,,
We've lived in the sunshine,
And walked in the rain. ,

But now we're seperated ,
And for a time apart,,
But I am not alone- ,
You're forever in my heart.,

Death always seems so sudden, ,
And it is always sure,,
But what is oft' forgotten-,
It is not without a cure.,

There may be times you miss me, ,
I sort of hope you do,,
But smile when you think of me,,
For I'll be waiting for ,
you.

Now there's many things for you to do,,
And lots of ways to grow,,
So get busy, be happy,and live your life,,
Miss me, but let me go.

********************** ,

He (She) left before you,
A place to prepare,
In the shelter,
Of our Lord's care,
May this bring comfort,
In the sorrow you bear ,

Don’t tell me that you understand. Don’t tell me that you know. Don’t tell me that I will survive, How I will surely grow. Don’t come at me with answers That can only come from me. Don’t tell me how my grief will pass, That I will soon be free. Accept me in my ups and downs. I need someone to share. Just hold my hand and let me cry And say, “My friend, I care"

There's magic in a Mother's touch, And sunshine in her smile. There's love in everything she does To make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage Just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, Her works are warm and wise. There is a kindness and compassion To be found in her embrace, And we see the light of heaven Shining from a Mother's face.

...and yet more Sympathy Poems

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.,
I’d like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.,
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.,
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,,
to dry before the sun ,
of happy memories that I leave,
when life is done.,

******************,

Don’t grieve for me,,
for now I’m free ,
I’m following the path,
God has laid you see.,
I took His hand,
when I heard him call,
I turned my back ,
and left it all.

I could not stay another day ,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.,
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.,

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss. ,

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.,
My life’s been full, I savored much ,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. ,

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.,
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now; He set me free. ,

Still more Sympathy Poems yet

God grant you the Serenity To accept the things you cannot change, Courage to change the things you can, And the Wisdom to know the difference.

**********************

If I should go tomorrow It would never be goodbye, For I have left my heart with you, So don't you ever cry. The love that's deep within me, Shall reach you from the stars, You'll feel it from the heavens, And it will heal the scars.

A beautiful comforting poem, when the deceased had been suffering an illness

God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered"Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you . But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Pet Loss

Sympathy poem for Pet Loss

Sunlight streams through window pane unto a spot on the floor.... then I remember, it's where you used to lie, but now you are no more. Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound.... then I remember, It's where your paws would joyously abound. A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill, then I remember it can't be yours.... your golden voice is still. But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall and lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall. I'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.
