Memorial Poems and Verses with “Thinking of You”.
Thinking of You
TY1
A picture of you I carry in my heart
I close my eyes to see it
when the world gets dark.
A memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me
when the nights get cold.
If you ask how I am, I’d say just fine
But the truth is
if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by
that I don’t think of you..
(name)
TY3
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
But all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your resting place we visit
And put flowers there with care
But no one knows the heartache
As we turn and leave you there.
TY5
How we miss the welcome footsteps
Of the one we loved so dear.
oft we listen for his coming
Fully sure that he is near.
Thou are gone but not forgotten
Fresh our love will ever be
For as long as there is memory
We will always think of thee.
TY7
Thinking of the thoughtful things
That you have said and done
And loving you a little more

As much as I love you…
And each time that you think of me

My thoughts of you today.

Although
death has separated us physically
Faith and love
have bound us eternally.

We know you are here with us
in our every thought
as we think about you each day.
Though we cannot touch you
We feel the warmth of your smile
As we turn the page
to a new chapter in our lives.
TY4
No morning dawns, no night returns
But that we think of you.
Those left behind are very good
But none replaces you.
Many a silent tear is shed
When we are all alone
The one we love so very much
The one we call our own.
TY6
Many the thoughts I give to you
As the long hours go by.
Thinking of the things we used to
do and say, just you and I.
Sometimes they make me smile
Sometimes they make me cry
But are precious to me alone
Memories of You and I.

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away
And those who have loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

As it dawns another year
In our lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of you are ever near.

And he/she was loved so much.

Our Tears

Fondly loved and deeply mourned

The stars seem dim as I whisper low
My darling boy,
I miss you so.
OT3

For I loved you and missed you
As it ends the second year.

Poems for Bereavement with “Goodbye”.
Goodbye
GB1
Two tired eyes are sleeping
Two willing hands are still.
For one who suffered far too much
Is resting in God’s will.
You never said goodbye to us
Perhaps it’s just as well
We never could have said goodbye
To one we loved so well.

I did not see you close your eyes
Or hear your last faint sigh
I only heard that you were gone
Too late to say goodbye.
GB2
You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why.
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.

There comes a time for all of us
when we must say goodbye
But memories of those we love
Live on and never die.

Short Memorial Verses about “Life and Death”
Life and Death
LD1
Do not think of me in the night;
And see my death.
But walk with me a while,
Til you reach the golden morning light;
And see my smile.
LD3
Say not in grief that she is no more
But say in thankfulness that she was.
Death is not the extinguishing of a light
But the putting out of the lamp
Because the dawn has come.
LD2
I cannot say, And I will not say
that he is dead…He is just away. With
a cheery smile and a wave of the hand,
he has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair,
it’s needs must be since he lingers there
LD4
Remember friend as you walk by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now you will surely be,
Prepare thyself to follow me.

So in order to help you find the perfect losing a loved one quote, we have assembled our remembrance poems based on particular themes. For instance, In memoriam verses with “A wish for you” help you convey what you wish for most. By comparison, short memorial verses about “life and death” are more profound and thought-provoking sentiments.
Remembrance Poems for Memorial Plaques
As can be seen in the above picture, our new and updated collection of remembrance poems for 2021 contain ideal short memorial verses for both headstones and memorial plaques for graves. In particular, your preferred losing a loved one quote can be combined with your beloved’s photograph as displayed on our exclusive headstone memorial plaques.
By and large, memorial poems and verses are kept relatively brief. That is to say, short bereavement verses which are anywhere from two to four lines long are recommended for most grave plaques. For example, our memorial plaques with photo perfectly suit a short in memorial poem along with names and your loved one’s photograph.
Short Bereavement Verses for Gravestones
For the most part, gravestones usually contain a relatively brief two or three line in remembrance poem inscribed near the bottom of the headstone. As an illustration, our traditional headstone has a short 2 line losing a loved one quote taken from the above “In our hearts” theme. It’s important to realise, poems for bereavement such as this should be kept generic.
That is to say, when additional inscriptions are added to the headstone the in memorial poem will be relevant for them too. To that end, each theme above contains 2 line short remembrance poems which are ideally suited for gravestones. Above all, when choosing your short bereavement verses try and find a verse that represents more than one person, if required.
Losing a Loved One Quote for Grave Ornaments
Without reservation, in memoriam verses are a wonderful addition to grave ornaments especially when personalised with your loved one’s name. For example, grave accessories like our graveside flower vases and our very popular lights for graves are ideally suited to hold an in remembrance poem to help you honour your loved ones life and legacy.
For instance, the granite block on our solar lights for gravesite can easily hold a 2 line in memorial poem if required. In the same way, remembrance poems personalised with a name also keeps your memorial safe from a security viewpoint. With this in mind, it’s always best practice when choosing in memoriam verses to personalize them with names and dates.
In Memorial Poem for Mother
As has been noted, our poems for bereavement are grouped together based on particular themes. Although this may be true, each in remembrance poem can be adapted to suit any family member. For instance, the following poem, taken from short bereavement verses is adapted to suit a mother: “Mum, your touch, your smile was always so tender. For today, for tomorrow, we will always remember”
By and large, short memorial verses such as this one engraved on our mother grave ornament are easily personalized by just adding your loved one’s name either above or below your commemoration quote. However, you can also see our collection of in memoriam verses for a mother or other family members for more in memorial poem ideas.
In Remembrance Poem for Dad
In truth, the most sought after in memoriam verses are needed to commemorate a father. With this in mind, we have created a special collection of memorial poems and verses for Dad with both long and short memorial verses. As an illustration, our father memorial portrait can be personalised with an in remembrance poem for a father, along with a laser-engraved portrait.
This grave plaque along with our other memorial plaques for a father or grandfather are ideally suited for poems for bereavement. As well as this, many more examples of in memoriam verses for a father can be viewed on our grave plaque pages. What’s more, each plaque can be personalized with your own picture and unique losing a loved one quote.
Poems for Bereavement of a Friend
Similar to an in remembrance poem for a father or mother, poems for bereavement can also be adapted to suit a friend. For instance, our friend memorial plaque has a “thinking of you” quote taken from our in memoriam verses. Short bereavement verses such as these are also perfect for smaller grave accessories even when personalised with names, as displayed.
In fact, for most memorials, including headstones it always best to try and have short memorial verses that are 3 or 4 lines long. With this intention, there will be enough space on the memorial for other friend or family names. Not to mention, an image or photograph of your loved one engraved alongside your preferred short bereavement verses will add a special personal touch.
