poem for a friend needed

lisa.c

a friend of mine has just recently lost her mother in a car crash.
she just seems so empty since it happened and understandably so. I'm not big in understanding poetry and sometimes the big words with deep meanings confuse me.I would however like to give her a poem that might help her deal with what has happened. But as i said a nice simlply worded one be best, have any of you any poems to offer.

thanks

it doesnt really mean much if you give her a poem from someone else, I bet if you try you can come up with something meanigful, afterall you are the one that knows them.
Writing down your feelings is all you need to do and take it from there...post up some ideas and maybe we can help you mold them, its rather impersonal to give words from someone who doesnt know them so give it a try I bet you will surprise yourself.

In Memory Of My Mother
Patrick Kavanagh

I do not think of you lying in the wet clay
Of a Monaghan graveyard; I see
You walking down a lane among the poplars
On your way to the station, or happily

Going to second Mass on a summer Sunday--
You meet me and you say:
'Don't forget to see about the cattle--'
Among your earthiest words the angels stray.

And I think of you walking along a headland
Of green oats in June,
So full of repose, so rich with life--
And I see us meeting at the end of a town

On a fair day by accident, after
The bargains are all made and we can walk
Together through the shops and stalls and markets
Free in the oriental streets of thought.

O you are not lying in the wet clay,
For it is harvest evening now and we
Are piling up the ricks against the moonlight
And you smile up at us -- eternally.
