Dad, Father, Grandfather Poems

A strong or dedicated father figure is a blessing in life and can teach us many wonderful things. The love of a dad or father and grandfather can touch us deeply. Here are a list of our favorite funeral poems especially for the man of honor in our lives.

Time Has Taken You

Time has taken me from you,

Although not very far.

I'll be watching through the sunshine

And through the brightest star.

I'll be watching all of you,

From the heavens up above.

So take good care of each other

And carry all my love.

If you're ever wondering

If I'm there, here's where you can start.

Take a look inside yourself

Deep within your heart.

I'll always be your baby,

Your child (grandchild), your best friend.

So anytime you need me,

Close your eyes I'm back again.

Time has taken me from you,

Although not very far.

I'll be watching through the sunshine

And through the brightest star.

I'll be watching all of you,

From the heavens up above.

So take good care of each other

And carry all my love.

If you're ever wondering

If I'm there, here's where you can start.

Take a look inside yourself

Deep within your heart.

I'll always be your baby,

Your child (grandchild), your best friend.

So anytime you need me,

Close your eyes I'm back again.

Dad's Love Remains

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

Golden Memories of Dad

They say memories are golden well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
