Funeral Poems & Readings

There Is No Night Without A Dawning

A funeral poem for comfort during unsettling times

No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon
Our hearts will once more sing ….
For those who leave us for a while
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, care worn world
Into a brighter day
