Elegy Poem Example 1

In Loving Memory of Grandma

Through gardens green and flowers bright,

You found your joy, your heart’s delight.

With gentle hands, you’d plant and sow,

A world of beauty you would grow.

In every bloom, we see your grace,

A touch of love in every space.

The petals soft, the colours deep,

Your spirit here in flowers’ keep.

Though now you rest, the flowers thrive,

A part of you that stays alive.

Each season brings your care anew,

A legacy in morning dew.

We walk among the blooms you made,

And feel the love that won’t fade.

In nature’s arms, you rest in peace,

Your life’s embrace shall never cease.

Elegy Poem Example 2

For Uncle Tom, the Fisherman

Along the shore, where waters flow,

You cast your line, so calm and slow.

With patience deep and spirit light,

You’d wait for fish from morn to night.

The sea became your trusted friend,

In tides and waves, no start, no end.

Each breeze that danced across your face,

Held memories time can’t erase.

Beneath the sky, in sun’s embrace,

You’d find your peace in nature’s grace.

In quiet coves, by ocean’s song,

Your heart found home, where you belong.

Though now your boat drifts far from sight,

Your spirit shines in morning light.

In every wave, in every breeze,

We feel your presence in the seas.

For all who cast their lines today,

In waters deep where dolphins play,

Your memory lives on in them,

A guiding star, a treasured gem.

Forever bound to ocean’s shore,

Your love and legacy endure.

In sea and sky, in wave and foam,

Dear Uncle, you are always home.
