Elegy Poem Examples
“My Safe Place”
You were the calm in every storm,
A place where love felt true and warm.
With just one glance, you eased my mind,
A soul so rare, a love so kind.
Though life moves on, you’re never far,
My constant peace, my northern star.
“The Heart Beside Me”
You stood beside me, hand in hand,
No need for words to understand.
In every laugh, in every tear,
You made this journey bright and clear.
Though you’ve stepped beyond the day,
Your heart walks with me all the way.
“The One Who Chose Me”
You chose me every single day,
Through joy and sorrow, come what may.
With laughter light and shoulders strong,
You made me feel I truly belonged.
Now though you’ve gone beyond my view,
My heart still beats in step with you.
“Our Everyday”
It’s not the grand, it’s not the show,
But all the ways you let me know—
That I was seen, and I was heard,
In every action, thought, and word.
Those simple acts, now sacred seem,
The little things still shape my dream.
“Love Without End”
We didn’t need the world to see,
The quiet love between you and me.
Unspoken words, a knowing glance,
A life we built, a shared romance.
Though I now walk this path alone,
Your love still makes this world my own.
“Still With Me”
You are the silence in the night,
The quiet thought that feels just right.
A whisper in the passing breeze,
A presence felt in swaying trees.
Though time and space may stretch between,
You’re still with me—unseen, serene.
