Answer 1

well here is some ex:

my dad
so loved by everyone
i may not understand why life was taken from you
but it had to be your time to go

i still can here your voice
it reminds me of the times we shared together
memories i hold on to forever
and i smile when i think about you


you kno that was just an example but i hope i helped

Answer 2

I love writing poems and I can definitely help you but I refrain from doing so, if it about a lover, a friend, a teacher or whoever was close to you and very much alive...then I would go for it......However this is your deceased Dad...a poem to a dear Dad who just passed away should only be written from a daughter coming straight from her heart..I know it can be difficult in the beginning......but I assure you , once you started it, words will oveflow and tears follow too, because slowly memories will come back all to you and no one else can write this poem except you, he was your Dad and you know how you were with each other, just go with the flow, just brainstorm the poem, do not erase and continue writing until you realized you ahve already written a very dear one, I am 100 percent sure of that..........after the brainstroming, then do the necessary editing .,..then in the end the good copy ok???and by the way, accept my heartfelt condolences, May he rest in peace..........

Answer 3

See what you think of this:

I read of a man who stood to speak
At a funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That he spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved him
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say?
About how you spent your dash?

Answer 4

I'm sure his heart would be very full knowing that you want to honor his memory and celebrate his life in this way.

One thing that might help you write is to think of the general statements you can make about your father, then think of specific examples you can use to illustrate those generalizations. You say "we did everything together." What specific things do you remember most? Did you walk in the woods together? Did he take you fishing? Did you go to museums or theatres or concerts or zoos or sporting events together? Did the two of you play with a pet? Did you play board games? Did he take to to work with him? Did he help you design Halloween costumes or pick out birthday gifts for friends? Only you know which memories are most precious to you.

Think of the things you'll someday tell your children about their grandfather. What stories will you want them to know about him? How will you describe him? If he was funny, give examples of things he said or did to make you laugh. If he was sympathetic and understanding, give examples of times when he listened to your concerns and helped you find solutions to your problems. If he was wise, mention lessons that he taught you or important pieces of advice he gave you.

Answer 5

Why does it need to be a poem? Just talk about what you learned from him and the good things about him you will remember. It's just one girls opinion but I think putting a eulogy into poetry form will just sully it, (make it sound tacky.)

Answer 6

Write about how you felt being around him how happy he made you some lessons he taught you. If you could talk to him about stuff tell about that about how you trusted him.

And I'm very sorry for your loss.

Answer 7

you've already written the poem.

he was my best friend and i loved him sooooo much...

keep that flow going.

poetry doesn't have to rhyme. speak from your heart. it doesn't really have to be a poem. just call it a letter to your dad. and ode to your dad. simple.

sorry for your loss.

Answer 8

I'm so sorry about your dad....it sounds like you two had a very special bond....so write whatever is in your heat and it will be the right thing...

Answer 9

write about something he liked
and don't 4get 2 that you love him

Answer 10

My dear...your question make me fell more about my daddy...Thank you.
