    Hi

    I am considering getting keyrings(with a photo) done for my family for Christmas.

    I have the photo(of my Mother)selected, all I need now is a poem/verse to go with it.

    Any suggestions?

    Write one yourself. Therefore its more personal. Plus its not as difficult as you may think. I've been doing it for the last six years for my Mam's anniversary paper notice.

    Not good at that kind of thing......? I know it would be more personal.

    Hi there:)

    As it's a keyring, I assume you need something short and sweet?

    I'd suggest:

    Those we love don't go away,
    They walk beside us everyday,
    Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

    It's a well known one, but kinda says it all....

    Sometimes words aren't the right choice, so leaving them out could be the best idea, as you suggested.

    In the end it'll mainly affect yourself, so just do whatever gives you peace of mind.

    Got them back today. Have to say they look really good. Hopefully the rest of the family will be pleased with them......?

    I don't know of any proper lenght poem, but I like this...

    When your road is rough and rocky,
    Or you're down and need a crutch,
    Remember I'm right beside you,
    Just an inch too far to touch.

    I went without the poem. And the family loved the keyrings. All thought it was a lovely idea.
