Poems for the Soul.

A tribute to the actor Richard Thorp. (Alan Turner Emmerdale)

Man among Men. by Philip reeves.

He entertained millions over fifty odd years,
A jovial giant beloved by his peers.
he starred in film on stage and t.v.
he was funny and kind, a true Gentleman He.

With effortless grace, full of wit and of charm,
His best loved performance came in Emmerdale Farm.
Now the curtain has fallen, at last its the end,
and all those who loved Him must grieve for their Friend.

He entertained and enthralled us for near sixty years,
Filling us all with laughter and tears,
he played Heroes and Villains with easy aplomb,
he thrilled in a war film about the Dambusters Bomb

He acted in Crossroads and in Mother makes Three,
In Emergency Ward 10 he was the Handsome Rennie M.D.
He was in Robin Hood, the Avengers and a Family at War,
To the Manor Born, Lovejoy and Much More.

During His spare time,his Hog he would ride,
Once surrounded by Bison; They were on every side,
A scary encounter, that filled Him with Glee,
out on his Harley,was where he loved to be.

He filled us with laughter, with anger and passion,
But his "Hells Elders" t-shirt was His favourite Fashion.
He acted his way into all of our hearts,
With Comedy and drama and romantic 'parts'.

Though now He has gone, His work still remains,
we don't have to miss him; We can see him again,
And though we WILL miss him, we can lessen the pain,
We can watch all his characters again and again.

So Richard; we thank You for all You have done,
To give so many pleasure, to share in the fun.
And now each time we see You on T.V. once again,
We'll be well reminded' that you were;
A Man among Men.

A neighbour recently died, after removing anything of value from the house his family refused to pay for his funeral and left him to a paupers grave. Are'nt some people truly compassionate (NOT).

when you're walking through the passageways of the labyrinth of life,
And you feel lost and lonely in the corridors of strife,
sit back and relax a while, and think of those you love,
and when you feel the terrors and the loneliness have gone,
Begin again and let your loved ones love light guide you on.


LIFE OR DEATH.


Is there truly life once our bodies die?
a place of light beyond the sky?
Is death the end? Just dead and cold?
Or do we believe the things we are told?
Do we Humans fear death so much, that,
 at fairy stories we must clutch?
Or does our spirit truly survive?
Though our body is no longer alive,
Religious believers say they all agree,
There is an afterlife for you and me,
But are they playing with my head?
and is dead after all just dead?
I truly wish I could believe,
Then I'd no longer need to grieve,
For all the loved ones I now miss,
The ones I long once more to kiss.
At least the religious like the Pope,
Believe enough to give me hope,
But I guess the only way I'll know,
Is when it becomes my turn to go,
I hope there is a place for me,
But like All of us I'll wait and see.

I wrote this in 1994 when I was still searching for my Path, Strange how it still holds true no matter what you choose to believe.

Here's another about friendship.

Departed Friend:


You were my friend but now you're gone, departed from this plane,
You left a hole within my heart that's filled with grief and pain,
But that will pass as grieving must, but your memory I'll retain,
I'll think of all the times we shared, the good and bad ones too,
and friend I'll treasure those memories,
Until I rejoin you.

I'll share more poems later not all about funerals some just for fun. see you soon.

Funeral Poems.


here are a few more poems for you to use if you wish, enjoy.

Dear Friend:

(name) Dear friend we were close for oh so many years, You've left us now and in your place are sorrow grief and tears,
But then I think of all we shared, the comradeship and laughter, the good times the fun times and the quiet times thereafter,
The memories of all we shared will always be with me,
and I know that our friendship will last eternally.
See you mate!.



My Friend:

My friend you're gone, no longer at my side,
But your memory forever within my heart will bide,
I will treasure all the times we stood and faced together,
Through sun and rain, through joy and pain and through truly stormy weather,
So I'll say farewell my dear old friend and thanks for all the fun,
and I'll carry all our memories until my life is done.
