Death and dying is always a sensitive subject for many. It is never easy to truly express your condolences. Some people are afraid to talk about it to someone who is grieving, and often the grieving person may not even know what to do and say or how to react. That is why it is important to really take a lot of consideration into what you write or say to someone. You don’t want to seem insensitive or cliched, nor would you want to seem like your sympathy is not genuine or insincere.
Below are some of our examples of sympathy poems:
Swiss Cheese Heart
The heart is like a piece of Swiss Cheese
And although it aches
it never breaks from the hole that is left
when you lose someone
Love Survives
Love can last longer than life
it can survive even death
it can go beyond the boundaries
that we know in our physical and material world
Love is all forgiving,
even when forgiveness seems impossible;
love knows no wrongs
only how to make everything right again
Love does not stop
when we take our final breath
it lives on in the hearts of all
continuing on to share
its radiance and beauty.
Here for You
The hardest thing in life
is to say good-bye to someone you love
Sometimes when you lose someone
you lose a piece of yourself too
No matter what you need
or when you need it
whether today, tomorrow or five years from now
I want you to know
I’m always here for you
Words Don’t Cut It
There aren’t words I can say
that can make this any less harder
Nothing can make
saying goodbye to someone you love
an easy thing to do
but I hope it helps
just letting you know
that no matter what you need
I am here for you
These are just a few examples of sympathy poems. Finding the right one can be tough, and it will depend often on the situation as to which is the best one or right one to use. All in all though you are sure to find something that works well for you.
