Funeral poems For Dad

Dads Poem

You never said “I'm leaving”
You never said “goodbye”
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.

There are no words to tell you
Just what I feel inside
The shock, the hurt, the anger
Might gradually subside

A million times I'll need you
A million times I'll cry
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
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home

Things will never be the same
And all though it hurts so bad
I will smile whenever I hear your name
And be proud you were my Dad.

This is nice.... I was 16

Submitted by jess on

This is nice.... I was 16 when my dad had a joke with me just minutes befor he passed away. I think he just knew and that was his way of saying goodbye. My father wasn't much of a joker. 3 years ago now and I've never felt the same. He definatly took a huge part of me with him. If only he could have stayed a little longer to meet his only beautiful grand daughter. She calls him poppy boo.

No words will ever be enough,

Submitted by Louise on

No words will ever be enough, but this poem says so much, my dad has just passed away and as I'm sure you all know the pain is something you cannot describe.

This poem is so appropriate and I will always cherish it.

Thank you

My Father (Dad's Poem)

Submitted by Hope on

My Father passed when I was 4. I can hardly remember much about him. Some things are ever present in my mind others time have of course washed away.. I have never been able to express how his death affected me.. this does it beautifully.

dads poem

Submitted by jo on

Lost my dad 6 may 2011. I never said see you later or held his hand. He passed on in the UK which makes it even harder. I still can't believe hes not here.

I think when i go to the UK next month it will hit home.

I miss him so much. He always called me his little girl he was my hero, friend, dancing buddy, swimming mate. He was the best dad and can't be replaced, but I know I will see him again./ He will be the one waiting 4 me when god takes me home. If tears would build a stair case and memories a lane, I could walk 2 heaven and bring u home again.

My dad

Submitted by Bekah on

My step dad passed away just yesterday of lung cancer. I'm having a real hard time trying ot express how I feel, but his poem says it all. I'm only 16, so I guess youcould say that I don't fully undestand the whoe death stuff. It doesn't feel real, and I honestly dont think it ever will. I'm going to read this poem at the funeral. I wan everyone to hear this. It really touche my heart.

A wonderful poem

Submitted by Lolo on

My dad passed away a week ago yesterday. I have been searching for the words I want to say at his service on Thursday. Although his passing was not sudden, he had cancer, we never said goodbye because he was a fighter until the end and we never wanted to take away his spirit by talking to him about goodbye. He was only 53 so the hurt and anger over him having to suffer right up until the end definitely hurts my heart, he didnt deserve any of what he had to go through. He was the kindest, most wonderful person I have ever met and I am so lucky for having him as my father. I love this poem, it really hits home.

Dad's Poem Sums it all up.

Submitted by Visitor on

This fits my dad and I to a T! I'm 23 and just lost him a couple months ago in a freak accident. I think about him everyday and still can't believe he's gone. This poem really helps me alot because my daddy took a big part of me with him. My daughter, my mom, and I all miss him so much. It's like we can feel him around sometimes, almost as if he were still here. Anyways, thank you for the poem :)
RIP Daddy, I love you always, to the moon and back times infinity!

Great Dad Poem

Submitted by JAMIE on

This is the most beautiful poem, it touches every part of your soul, and expresses every feeling thought you had when it comes to missing your Dad. Who is the author? I d like to thank them for allowing me to use this for my Dad's Eulogy. Thankyou

SITE ADMIN EDIT: Author is unknown, but it appears to have possibly been taken from another couple of poems which also have unknown authors, and changed slightly to make it appropriate for a Dad's Funeral Poem.

I'm in your heart .
I have also lost my daddy near christmas time 3 years ago, so this year is going to be a tough one too.
My mummy as not been well again since then and sometimes I feel as if I lost her too.
He died in a terrible and unexpectated way thanks to someone who didn't have any feeling on taking away his life and now that person is walking free while my daddy can't.
Be strong.
They are alway watching us and they want see us happy.

Dear Mini.
I'm in your heart.
I lost my daddy too in a bad and unexpected way and I know what you are going through.
I was confused I diden't know what had happened,it was like I was in a bad dream and I couldn't wake up.
Now after nearly 3 years I'm begining to talk about it,even if I haven't got thrugh it yet.
I even wrote a book about him,to help me get out all my hunger and suffering.
It will help you to talk about it ,remember the happy times you had with him,those they will keep him alive forever.
I wish you all the best.
Be strongh and remember he wants to see you happy.

Dad's Poem

Submitted by Donna on

I agree...this poem says it all. I lost my Dad on August 7th to a heart attack. It is very difficult but getting better. I still find myself picking up the phone saying I need to call and ask him a question an then I realize that I can't. I miss him so very much...it hurts and my heart still hurts way too much to explain. He is and will always be my Super Hero! RIP Daddy....

ME TOO!

Submitted by Stuart on

My father died on the 1st of Feb after an accident at home. Despite an early call from my sister, I arrived at the hospital 1 hour after he died. I intend reading this poem at his funeral as it brings me great comfort. Would like to know who wrote it?

Dads Poem

Submitted by Noreen Lawrence on

I lost my dad July last year.
After adapting the poem a little to suit the situation of his death. (we knew he was leaving us)
With a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes i read the poem out aloud at his funeral service.
Such a lovely poem and i meant every word of it and whilst reading it i could feel a kind of warmth that my dad was hearing it.
A lovely, lovely poem indeed,

My Dad

Submitted by Angie on

This poem is so powerful, thank you.
I lost my Dad March 31, 1982, I know almost 30 years ago, I was only 17 at the time and my brothers were 15. He was killed in a snow storm driving home from work in a head on collision. Our lives changed drastically that day. It took me a long time to get over losing him, and still miss him today after all this time. For me I often wonder what he would look like today, I look at men that would be his age now and just can't picture him old. He was only 39 the day he was taken from us. Love you all ways Daddy

Daddy's Girl

Submitted by Baseema on

I just lost my Dad last Thursday 4/12..I was on the phone while the family was in the ICU, encouraging him to breathe on his own, after they released the breathing assist... It was painful, You try to block it out, you hope. that at the last second, God will change his mind, and keep him here with you just a little while longer....Then it happens...An extreme sense of loss totally clouds your mind and thoughts. "Sorry's" condolences, empathy, covers the next chapter of your life. The acceptance comes over. Although you answer the door, you rather leave it open so that the memories never leave. The good news: they come to stay...no bad news, though, only continuous feelings of his hugs, kisses and the greatness of his life live on forever. I was and still am a Daddy's girl. I have an abundance of B-day cards, letters, and pictures that get me through the day. The Funeral is this Saturday.

I hope that the next person reading this will find peace just as I did. This is one of those sites, you just stumble upon.. If this is you, I pray that your heart be mended and ultimate Peace surrounds you. Your Dad is with you. Rather your knew him, or not, He is with you at this very moment.

your poem

Submitted by Sarah on

very lovely poem but you do realize the word should be lose not loose, loose is like loose clothing; lose is to suffer a loss.

I lost my dad on april 25

Submitted by Haley on

I lost my dad on april 25 2012. I never thought it would happen as fast as it did. I was home with my dad he was joking with my mom on the phone and he was going to get,ready to go to the store. He died in our home.

I find it hard to stay at home now. It still doesnt feel real. He was a donor and has helped two people already that makes me happy that they can now see because of my dad but I still miss him so much.

I'm only 21 and I had to arrange the services not something I thought I would have to do.

This poem is great.
