I have collected a selection of poems and readings you may like to use during a ceremony, I hope you will find something suitable. I intend to add more regularly.

Her role down here is done

Her little soul has touched us all,

She didn’t need to stay:

Her spirit touched each one of us

Before it sailed away

 

We all know souls arrive on earth

With special roles to fill,

And hers has fully played it’s part,

Her memory guides us still.

 

She had a very special soul

She stayed but just a while,

So if, or when, you’re feeling sad

Recall her with a smile.

 

For then you’ll know inside your heart

The reason why she’s gone,

And never feel too empty that

Her role down here is done.

Her spirit touched each one of us,

No other ever could.

Forever will we cherish her

The way we know we should.

My beloved babe

My endlessly sleeping baby, I would that you should know

That if it were for want of love that you should kick and grow

To cuddle with a teddy bear, to squirm and crawl and walk,

To look deep into my eyes, to gurgle, laugh and talk –

Then dream of playing with your toys, of rocking in your pram

 

For you are my beloved, death’s sting is just a sham

For you are my beloved, though childhood years I’ll miss

My love for you will still be strong; death cannot alter this.

 

So dream in peace beloved babe, when time has staunched the tears

My love for you will still be there, abiding all my years

So dream in peace beloved babe, death has no power to sever

Us from the love, which binds us together, sealed in my heart forever.

My little angel

You’ve just walked on ahead of me

And I’ve got to understand

You must release the ones you love

And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can

But I’m missing you so much

If I could only see you

And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me

Don’t worry I’ll be fine

But now and then I swear I feel

Your hand slip into mine.

Fairy castle

In a fairy castle, just beyond my eyes,

My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.

Who am I, to wish her back into this world of strife?

No, play on my Baby you have eternal life.

At night, when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes

I hear her tiny footsteps come running to my side.

Her tiny hand caress me, so tenderly and sweet

I breathe a sigh and say a prayer embrace her in my sleep.

Now I have a treasure that I hold above all other

I have known true glory for I am still her mother.

I heard your voice in the wind today

I heard your voice in the wind today

and I turned to see your face;

The warmth of the wind caressed me

as I stood silently in place.

 

I felt your touch in the sun today

as its warmth filled the sky;

I closed my eyes for your embrace

and my spirit soared high.

 

I saw your eyes in the window pane

as I watched the falling rain;

It seemed as each raindrop fell

it quietly said your name.

 

I held you close in my heart today

it made me feel complete;

You may have died…but you are not gone

you will always be a part of me.

 

As long as the sun shines…

the wind blows…

the rain falls…

You will live on inside of me forever

for that is all my heart knows.
