Since death is a certain fact that in most cases would cause grief and bereavement to the deceased's family, the existence and creation of eulogies is also certain. Before anything was written down even, in ancient times, poetry was a gift given from one person to the next and was greatly appreciated as it displayed thoughtfulness and intellect.
The right love poem is an ideal gift or a beautiful description of the landscape if it is worded well enough. Even though it is easier to pick someone's lines and write them down for your mother, try to express your love for your mother in our own words. Try to find a poem that best suits your particular relationship by mirroring your situation directly.
Make it rhyme if you want, but don t think too much about it or you won t be able to write it. A little poetic effort is the best Mother's Day gift she could have ever hoped for. Read Shakespeare's love poems carefully as not all of the 154 sonnets are directed happily towards a loved one.
Using poetry to help with grief, to express love or pain and to memorialize a friend or family member is very powerful and will be appreciated by others who have experienced a loss. It can be framed, written in a card, spoken over the phone, recited one to one or even emailed if time is not on your side.
