You never expect to have to say goodbye to a beloved brother. But when tragedy strikes, it can be difficult to know what to do or say. At your Milton-Freewater, OR, funeral home service, you may find yourself grasping for the right words for his eulogy.
Fortunately, the English language is filled with poets and lyricists who have been able to express their emotions about death beautifully. These moving verses from some of them can help you find healing again.
Love Lives On – Unknown Author
You went away so suddenly
We did not say goodbye
But brothers can never be parted
Precious memories never die.
In My Mind – Jenn Farrell
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I’ll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
“Life isn’t always fair”
You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
“God really needed me,
That’s why I couldn’t stay”
It’s said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I’ve always had my angel
My brother – whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at the sky so blue
All I see are visions of you
“While there’s a heart in me, you’ll be a part of me.
My Brother – Unknown Author
As kids, we lived together
We fought, we laughed, we cried.
We did not always show the love,
that we both had inside.
We shared our dreams and plans,
and some secrets too.
All the memories we share,
Is what bonds me now to you.
We grew to find we have a love
that is very strong today.
It’s a love shared by our family,
that will never fade away.
You are my brother not by choice,
but by the nature of our birth
I could not have chosen a better one
you were the best on earth.
Sleep, My Brother – T. Hutchinson
I wish you sweet sleep, my brother dear.
Although there’s so much that you’ve left bare
I hate that you had to endure such pain
On my mind, your saddened eyes have left a stain.
[…]
But I have hope that those sleeping will rise
The Bible says that God will open their eyes.
No suffering, sickness, yes not even pain,
Those who did good, eternal life they’ll gain.
So… sleep on my brother, sleep tight
For now with you the sky is night.
But after night will come daybreak
Therefore I will wait hoping to see you awake.
For My Big Brother – Tyra
You showed me a lot of things.
I learned a lot I didn’t know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing -
How to let you go.
I know you didn’t mean to leave me;
Sometimes we have no choice.
I miss being your little sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice.
I wish I got to say “I Love You”
Before you were given to the sky.
If God could grant me one last wish,
I’d ask to say “Goodbye.”
You always meant a lot to me.
I could never love you less,
I know it’s true when they say,
“He only takes the best.”
Goodbye, Brother
Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it’s too late, for your time has come.
Words unspoken – I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
I was there when you needed a place to stay,
just like you would be there for me night or day.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it’s time for me to say goodbye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly.
