Hiya.  Here's one of my own.  It's depressing, but happiness wasn't a prerequisit.  (By the way, you forgot the "Unstressed/stressed" syllable pattern!)\n\n"Sonnet of Mourning" by Sine Nomine\n\nIt pained me to see others sorely pained;\nLove bade me eagerly to take their stead,\nAnd were I thousand miles away, I strained\nTo loose the tie of anguish, loss and dread.\nNow as I sleep, please know I love you still.\nThough wordless glory crowns my aching heart,\nI'll never sleep and dare to dream until\nYou let me leave and to sweet Grace depart.\n\nDo not weigh down my restful mind with guilt\nThrough heavy tears and lasting mourning sighs,\nFor Heaven's like a finished patchwork quilt\nWith all God's blesséd knots securely tied.\n\nPlease hear my plead and let your crying cease.\nAs I love you, now let me be at peace.

Sorry for your loss! It's hard to decide what is good enough for a special family member during times such as these. I didn't write a obituary but I read to "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban at my mother's memorial service. Very beautiful!

Faith, Honey, faith. I am so sorry for your loss, but she does hear you as does God. Whenever you are out, do ever see something out of the blue that she liked? Sometimes they let us know in very subtle ways. It can be in the smallest things that we take for granted every day. You can see her in the innocent beauty of a childs smile or a picture of a snow-white dove. A rainbow or a picture of a rainbow. Whenever I need to know that God is hearing me, I ask to see a rainbow or a dove and lo and behold, I will see one even if I'm not looking for it. Look for her in everyday things that make you feel warm and happy and you will find her. She is watching you from above. Also, being as you have found Yahoo Answers, even if it was before your daughter passed away, you were brought here for a reason. God knows that you need friends now and you have found friendship and hopefully comfort here. We are like a family here on YA and we do our best to support each other. If God was not listening, you would not have found your way here or to any other means of comfort and support. The people here on YA are the best and some of the most forgiving, caring and loving people I've ever had the pleasure and the honor to meet. Keep your faith and know that your daughter is in the arms of Jesus now and he feels your pain as we do as well. You are in my prayers and if you need to talk, you may send me a message. I'm a mother too and I know how strong a mother's love is. Don't worry, God is in control and you will meet with your daughter again. Just look around. She is in every flower, gentle breeze, every act of kindness, in every beautiful sunrise and sunset but most of all, she is in your heart forever. God bless, sweetie. I'll pray for you, we all will.

I wanted to help so badly, but I can't find it. I searched for about 30 minutes. I Found a great site though. It tranlates poems into English. I will tell you if I find it.  P.S. when I originally searched the poem and went to the site a poem came up but it was blurry and it was in the Greece catagory.\n\nGood Luck,\n          Chelsea\n\n\n\nI updated my comment so that I could give you the English translation to singlesockcollectors poem: here it is\n\n\n\nLeaf turns brown fall, you have just flown away yourself, branch patronizes, you want to separate yourself.  This life source, that\nformerly nourished you, Asserted, embellished, nevertheless is not dried up!  \n\nAs a burning love, in violent pushed, This velvets nectar knew to stuff you.  This tree, that has you it does?  You in has you it too given?  Of a too perfect love would have you it flooded?  \n\nThe life that climbs in him, and cannot flow itself, NEEDS this puit, where she can s’épancher itself.  The vigor of the summer,\nwhere you puisas the joy OF A delighted happiness, the abandons without you.  \n\nSmall leaf turns brown, where go you to put yourself?  Will rejoin you foam it and his cold dew?  Do not go you to take mourning, in the frozen earth, With of other feuillées, that already are\nwithered.  \n\nDauphine 30/08/2004\n\nCheck the site

I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with your brother you and his family.\n\nDo not stand at my grave and weep\nI am not there; I do not sleep.\nI am a thousand winds that blow,\nI am the diamond glints on snow,\nI am the sun on ripened grain,\nI am the gentle autumn rain.\nWhen you awaken in the morning's hush\nI am the swift uplifting rush\nOf quiet birds in circled flight.\nI am the soft stars that shine at night.\nDo not stand at my grave and cry,\nI am not there; I did not die.

My mother passed on 3-17-01. My dad passed on 3-18-01. They were buried on 3-20-01. They divorced in 1959 and never saw each other again. Not a day goes by  without them in my thoughts. I think only of the good memories and although I miss them terribly, I have accepted it for what it is.  I had them for 46 years and now God has them for eternity. No one can tell you how to grieve, but time is a great healer. You`ll be fine. A Friend.
