Description
Welcome to my funeral
Welcome to my funeral, my passing was so unexpected
I leave behind my dear dear (wife/husband), my family, friends, so affected
I cannot hide my sorrow for causing you so much pain
And do I wish I was still there with you; of course, I do, but in vain.
Like most of us when our days are up, that’s it, behind me I leave
My nearest and dearest, alone and distraught, with family and friends so to grieve

Please be there for each other over the days and months to follow.As time, companionship and the healing process transforms what now seems so hollow.
We’ve been there for each other and for you,life must go on
In time find joy and happiness, celebrate my life though I have gone
After this day is over move on, albeit good memories do keep
Life is short and I want you to live it, for me, in time do not weep
Goodbye my nearest and dearest, my family, friends and, well, the rest
Thank you for seeing me off this day, I hope I’m looking my best
About the Author
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997. Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties and early thirties.
In 2016, his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and wrote it as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.
