Answer 1

I'm so sad to lose my Uncle Steven,
In Gods eyes we end up even,
Remembering what he said and did,
He meant so much to me as a kid.

Hi. The prose poem below brought a lot of comfort to my mother after my father died - she had it copied in calligraphy by a family friend and it is framed in her room at home.

Death is Nothing at all

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
whatever we were to each other
that we still are
call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used
put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together
pray smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as it ever was
there is unbroken continuity
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner
All is well

Henry Scott Holland
(1847-1918) Canon of St Paul's Cathedral

I guess my biggest problem with your query is that if you want something that is totally original/unknown, you should do it yourself - write what you feel and there is no shame if it is not poetic - it is personal and meaningful. Asking someone else for an 'original' contribution is the worst of both worlds - it is not specific to you - how can it be as the person does not know anything about your uncle? And something that is proved to be generally meaningful, helpful and powerful will necessarily be if not well known, but at least already in existence.

Answer 5

The Plan of the Master Weaver Our lives are but fine weavings That God and we prepare, Each life becomes a fabric planned And fashioned in his care. We may not always see just how The weavings intertwine, But we must trust the Master’s hand And follow His design, For He can view the pattern Upon the upper side, While we must look from underneath And trust in Him to guide. Sometimes a strand of sorrow Is added to His plan, And though it’s difficult for us, We still must understand That it’s He who fills the shuttle, It’s He who knows what’s best, So we must weave in patience And leave to Him the rest. Not till the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why— The dark threads are as needed In the Weaver’s skilful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern He has planned.

Answer 6

I took the first letters of my uncle's name and wrote what is called and "acrostic poem" for my aunt when her husband of 50+ years died. It was just for her, but I was shocked and pleased to find it on the back of the obituary. Try it. It is easy and you can be sincere in talking about what your uncle meant to his wife and family. For example:

G - reat friend and father
R - eally nice and funny
E - ven though you are gone
G - onna think of you with joy everyday
O - utstanding were the parties you threw
R - ibs, roasts, rolls and really good times galore!
Y - ou will be missed but never forgotten, Uncle.

Of course you'll do much better than this, but you get the idea.
Sorry for your loss. Hope your family heals soon. Peace.

Answer 7

I hate that you left me all alone and before you left I had to say,
my goodbye over the phone.
Many can't picture a soldier like you dead,
my uncle who should of died old and happily on his bed.
I'm mostly upset with myself for letting you down.
I can't take the insanity anymore you need to be found.
You were more than just my uncle, but also my best friend.
You stood beside me and for you I would always defend.
You had taught me so much before you left
and for you I tried my very best.
My happiest moments were seeing you in the stands cheering me on,
you were my inspiration leading me to victory, but now you're gone.
And, when I would win I would wait to see your face light up,
like the sight of a child getting a new pup.
I didn't just do it for myself, but for you too.
Just so you would be happy and have something new to brag to your crew.
You're the reason I want to succeed.
I'll make you proud of me one day, they'll see.
I wish you the best and hope that you are found and peacefully put to rest.
Many don't care and think of you as a loser, a zero.
Nobody's perfect and to me most importantly you were my hero.

Dedicated to my uncle
my dearest uncle, I will always love you and honor your name
Love Always, your #1 fan
Rest in Peace

Answer 8

Sorry for your lose my condolences to you and your family

How about this by Helen Steiner Rice

When I must leave you
For a little while-
Please do not grieve
And shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
Through the years,

But start out bravely
With a gallant smile;
And for my sake
And for my name
Live on and do
All things the same,

Feed not your loneliness
On empty days,
But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,

Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;

And never, never
Be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky.

Answer 9

god called uncle steven home,
yes, before his time.
he doesn`t want to see you sad,
that`s why i wrote this rhyme.

he said to try to make you smile,
and not to be so sad.
that he`ll be seeing you someday,
and heaven is not that bad. (ha, ha.)

so even tho he`s now gone,
and left an empty space.
something tells me he`s watching us,
with a smile upon his face.

Answer 10

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found.

Hope you like this, with deepest sympathy!!
