Aunt Death Poems

Poems for Loss of an Aunt

Many aunts hold a special place in the hearts of their nieces and nephews. Aunts are often a source of good, unbiased advice and wonderful friendships. Understandably then, coping with the loss of an aunt can be especially difficult. Many people find solace in crying, talking, and writing about their aunt. Sharing special stories about an aunt with others and reliving shared experiences can keep her alive in memory. It is also a way to celebrate the value of life and family relationships and even validate our reason for living.

10 Farewell Tribute Poems for the Death of an Aunt

1. My Aunt
- By Megan Stokes
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2007
This poem is dedicated to my aunt who just passed away with the disease M.S.

Death Of Aunt From Multiple Sclerosis

I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done."

I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done."

I thought I heard her voice today
Then laugh her hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace, little one, at last."

I thought I felt her touch today
In the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought that she had left me
For the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"She left you with her love."

I thought that I would miss her
And never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"She's with you every day."

Poem For An Aunt Who Died

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories we'll never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories we'll never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing this pain would disappear.
I didn't get the chance to say my last goodbye.
I just didn't think you could ever die.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
All of your love I will always hold near.
In my heart and my mind I will never be alone.
When my time comes...
I will meet you in heaven!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

3. Until That Day
- By Chris Belden
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2007
To ny dearest Aunt Connie. May you know we all miss you so much! I'll love you always....

When An Aunt Dies

Until that day, I'll think of you,
the love we shared, the memories too.

Until that day, I'll think of you,

Until that day, I'll think of you,
the love we shared, the memories too.

Until that day, I'll think of you,
I'll try so hard in all I do.

Until that day, I'll find out why,
you had to leave with no "goodbye."

Until that day, this is so,
your family misses you, more than you'll know.

Until that day, you'll be with him,
your God, your Savior, and new best friend.

Until that day, I see you there,
you're in my heart, you're everywhere.

Until that day.

4. God Took Another Angel Home
- By Christina Wallace
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2009
Dedicated to My Aunt (AKA my Mom).
She was the one who raised me.

Mourning Poem

You laid there in that hospital bed;
you tried so hard to hold on.

God was calling you home.

You laid there in that hospital bed;
you tried so hard to hold on.

God was calling you home.
He needed another angel to help pour out the rain.

Tears have fallen, hearts weere shattered,
but it was time for you to fly home.

Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes,
to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed.

As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed,
God took another angel home.

5. I Reckon
- By Kayla
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2008
This is for my aunt Lorrie... 'I reckon' was a inside joke between us since I was like 6. My dad woke me up early one morning, so I knew something was wrong. Then he said the horrible words...."Honey, Lorrie passed away at 3:00 this morning."

Remembering Dead Aunt

I reckon I miss you
and I probably always will
This is so hard to get over
like swallowing a bitter pill

I reckon I miss you
and I probably always will
This is so hard to get over
like swallowing a bitter pill

I reckon I shouldn't be crying
because this is not how you'd want it to be
knowing you're in your eternal home
now singing with glee

I reckon you are looking down on us
probably proud of us all
you always told me how God would hold me
and never let me fall

I reckon I have to get through this
I must try to be strong
on the outside you can't tell it
but on the inside something is very wrong

I reckon I'll be sad for a while
but soon I'll realize I'll see you one day up there
don't think I stopped missing you
don't think I don't care

We've had so many good times
tons of laughs as well
The memories are all coming back to me now
like a wonderful spell

Girlie, I hope you know
you will be missed a lot
You were loved by so many
You'll never be forgotten!!

6. Missing You
- By Danielle Anglin
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2015
This poem is about my aunt who had died in March last year. It expresses my feeling of depression, knowing that I had lost someone dear to me.

Poem About Wishing We Didn't Have To Say Goodbye

Life is full of pain and sorrow.
You're here today,
Gone tomorrow.

Life is full of pain and sorrow.
You're here today,
Gone tomorrow.

If only we knew when we're going to die,
We would all be prepared to say goodbye.

Mr. Death doesn't seem to care.
Why do you come so suddenly?
You're my worst nightmare!

My heart aches to see my loved one go.
You'll never know how much I love you so.

I wish for you to come back to me,
For there's no place you'd rather be.

It's hard to accept that you've gone too soon.
My life without you is in ruin.

You'll forever be in my heart.
Our memories will never be torn apart.

7. Poem About The Death Of A Loved One
- By Aimee
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2012
This is about my auntie who died when I was 13, and I wrote it when I was 13 too. Death's a hard thing for everyone, especially when you're young.
Dedicated to my Auntie Pat 05/05/12

I know that you're dead and you're gone for good
It's hard to accept, but now I've understood
Nothing lasts forever, even if it's good or it's bad
Now you're up in heaven; it makes me feel glad

I know that you're dead and you're gone for good
It's hard to accept, but now I've understood
Nothing lasts forever, even if it's good or it's bad
Now you're up in heaven; it makes me feel glad
That finally your pain and sadness has ended
Just like the way God had intended
At this time you're standing at those big golden gates
Up in heaven your new life awaits
I know you're looking down on us, wanting us to be strong
And I know you have been all along
We all miss you and that's definitely true
When we think of all the times we had with you
For now you've gone up high in the sky
Because this is your time to say goodbye

8. Dedicated To My Aunt
- By Natalyvasquez
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2011
This New Year was supposed to be happy, but there was a tragedy. My 32 year old aunt died, leaving her 9 year old daughter. I want her to know through this poem how much I love her.

Life is too short.
It's not enough,
but we must understand
that if we live it in love and faith,

Life is too short.
It's not enough,
but we must understand
that if we live it in love and faith,
a road will be made
for the day we pass away.
We can take it
and wait at the end.
for those who once and always loved me,
I will meet.

Your beautiful eyes,
so big and round,
showed love,
showed laughter,
showed happiness,
showed sadness,
but we will remember you as the happy, beautiful woman you were,
the one who once cried for love,
the one who once laughed.
I love you, my dear.
We will miss you,
but please wait.
We will meet once again
in the kingdom of heaven
where no pain we will feel.

9. My Everything
- By Esha Dorsey
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2008
Don't ever think a loved one is gone. They are still here looking at you in some way.

Death Is Not The End

When you feel like you've lost everything
because you lost the one who was your everything,
think about all the good things,
the fun you had,

When you feel like you've lost everything
because you lost the one who was your everything,
think about all the good things,
the fun you had,
the time they turned rain into sunshine,
or what about the time they turned your tears into a smile.
And smile again because of the love you have for that someone,
And keep smiling because that someone would have wanted to see you smiling and happy all the time

I TRULY MISS YOU, AUNT GWEN, BUT I'M STILL SMILING.

10. I Felt It Break
- By Mickayla
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2010
I'd like to dedicate this poem to my Aunt Linda, who passed away in October. I miss her a whole lot more than anybody in my family except my cousin Nolan. My Aunt Linda was my great-great-aunt, and she left her mom alone. and she also left me alone. She will be missed, and I hope to see her in Heaven when I go. RIP Aunt Linda, 1942-2009.

I took a walk to try to ease my mind and get over your goodbyes.
Though I know you're in a better place, surely God must know I want you back.
Later that night I shed a tear, the one I've been saving for you
and I could cry anymore after that.

I took a walk to try to ease my mind and get over your goodbyes.
Though I know you're in a better place, surely God must know I want you back.
Later that night I shed a tear, the one I've been saving for you
and I could cry anymore after that.
I fell asleep in my bed hearing you say good night and then it happened,
I felt my heart break.
Too hurt to move, too scared to talk, now I really want you back.
Nobody else feels this pain I conceal inside, not even you,
because you're up in Heaven and I'm down here needing you.
