    Poem for my dads funeral
    I am looking for a poem to be read at my dads funeral. I would like it to be about fishing, the sea and angels. Any suggestions?

    We did this one at my mom's funeral. It totally brought me to tears.

    God Saw You Getting Tired

    God saw you getting tired
    And a cure was not to be
    So he put his arms around you
    And whispered,
    "Come to Me"

    With tearful eyes we watched you
    And saw you pass away
    And although we love you dearly
    We could not make you stay.

    A Golden heart stopped beating
    Hard working hands at rest.
    God broke our hearts to prove to us
    He only takes the best


    I am very sorry for your loss. If you Google "Best Funeral Poems" you will find more.

    Robert Louis Stevenson. 1850–1894
    Requiem

    Under the wide and starry sky
    Dig the grave and let me lie:
    Glad did I live and gladly die,
    And I laid me down with a will.

    This be the verse that you grave for me:
    Here he lies where he long'd to be;
    Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
    And the hunter home from the hill.
