Lyrics
Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how
To fight this, God has a master plan
And I guess, I am in his demand
Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see, you when this is done
And now I, have come to realize
That you are, the one who's left behind
Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here hold on, to me
I'm right here waiting
I see, the light it feels good
And I'll come, back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss
Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here hold on, to me
I'm right here waiting
And take, my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here, waiting
Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on to me
I'm right here, waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here, waiting
Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on to me
I'm right here, waiting
And take, my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here, waiting
Listen to a sample of Not Now
We lost our 7 year old and had the song "Somewhere Out There" played as we exited the Church. It had a significance to us but people that didn't know that, thought it was a touching song for a child's funeral.
Best place I know of for poetry and blessings, is the Bible. Has been used for eons. . .
Hubs has ordered, for when the time comes, Daddy's Hands.(Secular, but fitting.) . .lol ! He means for his kids to boo hoo ! ! An absolute, do not use, is Tears in My Beer ~ used at a friend's dad's send off ! As you see by the pages and pages of suggestions. . . . personalize the service to the loved one's liking ~ and hopefully, you have had time to sort this out before hand.

Hi AllisonCS, Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, I don't know of any sites like that off the top of my head. However I'm sure you could find some great poems like that by doing a few google searches. Good luck!! -- Emily | Community Manager
Would like to know of a website that has memorial type poetry...to be used at funerals or memorials. Some uplifting...in gratitude for those we leave behind.
Is there a place to find appropriate memorial poetry of various "personalities" -- uplifting and grateful to those we leave behind?
It would be helpful to have a list of all titles before printing any lyrics --thanks!
Great thread - many of our families choose these songs and the ceremonies turn out beautifully. Another thing to consider is picking out specific poems/readings you'd like to have at your loved one's funeral. Our best advice is to try to match your selections with the personality of your loved one, so that he or she is properly remembered in a way true to his or her character.
