My poem of the week
I took a funeral today, the family asked for a poem specifically about a family loosing a loved one and reflecting on that loss. I sent a few poems that resonated with my across to them and they selected this one.
Broken Chain - by Ron Tramnor
We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
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.
You left us peaceful memories.
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again
Poems are reflective of each individual and family; there are so many beautiful ones that can be meaningful, some about hope and some about loss and others about love or family. If you want any help finding a perfect poem for you, get in touch.
