I found my friends program from her wedding. She included this poem for her dad. I cry each time I read it. I wanted to share with all you ladies if you want to include it in your programs.
If tears could build a stairway
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.
no farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why
our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow what it meant to lose you no one can ever know
but now we know you want us to mourn for you no more to remember all the happy times life still has much in store.
since you'll never be forgotten we pledge to you today a hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll always stay

Re: Poem for deceased people
OMG that is really beautiful!
FH & I have been struggling with how to honor those who have passed, especially since the main reason why is because one of our dear friends died right before we started dating. A lot of our friends are still not entirely over it, so we really don't knwo quite how to handle it.
That is such a beautiful poem.

Re: Poem for deceased people
I love the poem. It made me cry! I am also looking for ideas to honor my mother. Do you think it's inappropriate to have someone read a poem like this at the ceremony?????

Re: Poem for deceased people
I don't know about reading it. It just might bring everyone to tears on one of the happiest days of your life. I will now print this poem in my program but I am also including a single lavenader rose (my brothers favorite color was purple, he was a bit of a free-sprit) in the centerpiece (my centerpieces are all white) at my parent table. Does this sound weird??
