Hi, i was wondering if anyone could possibly help me. I wanted to write the funeral speech for my nan, who i was extermely close to and wanted to include a short piece of poetry to go in it, either original or from an author i am just confused on what to use. If Anyone could help me i'd really really be grateful.

Thank-you

A sunrise of memories. (written for my Nan)

The night I found out
You had gone from this world
All I could think of was the sunrise
How when one door shuts
Another opens
I know that this life at this opened door
Could never match up to
The times spent with you
Behind the closed one
The “ sweety draw “
Under the kitchen sink
Journeys in your garden
These thoughts will stay with me forever
Coming up on a sunrise of memories

you’ll be forever in our hearts
Always in our minds
you’ll never stop receiving our love

Always love you nan. your always in my heart
It was written by
Naomi Burdett
kindest regards,
JBG

I was also so close to my Nan and I'm writing this 25yrs on and yet it seems such a short time ago. I don't know about writing a poem but I would write how my Nan gave me unconditional love at a time in my life when I needed it most. She was wise beyond the universe and I still have a hole in my heart from when she left but I also know I'll see her again, with my Mum now and be able to tell her how much I love her and respect her.
