If you’re looking for a funeral poem for a special aunt that you were very close to, this is an excellent choice. It describes the unique way an aunt can show up for you with wisdom but also as a friend. May this day be filled with delight, As we celebrate you, shining so bright. With love that’s true and oh so right, Happy birthday, dear Aunt, a guiding light! So here’s to you, on this special day, May happiness never fade away. With love and joy, come what may, Happy birthday, dear Aunt, we’re here to stay!

This poem was originally written about the special relationship between a father and daughter. But if you think the sentiment describes your relationship with you aunt, it’s a great way to share that your aunt will always be a part of your life, even after she’s gone. On your birthday, dear Aunt, we say, You make the world brighter, come what may. Your presence fills each passing day, With love and care, you lead the way. Funeral poems can highlight the good memories you have with your aunt, too. 1. "Aunties” by Kevin YoungYour smile, a beacon through the haze, In your embrace, our worries erase. With you, life’s journey becomes a craze, Auntie dear, you light up our days. To our wonderful aunt, so dear, On your birthday, we draw near. Your love, a beacon, crystal clear, With you, life’s skies are always sheer. Sometimes, it’s hard to recognize an old relative. It’s even harder when they’re confused about you. This can be a sad, challenging experience for everyone involved. 19. "Moving Things” by W.S. Di Piero She believes this is pointless because she isn’t there. Instead, she’s become a part of the natural world around them. She’s present when her family looks at the glimmering snow, or at birds in flight. Frye takes it a step further and states that she never died at all. She just became part of the natural world. 24. "And Death Shall Have No Dominion” by Dylan Thomas As we raise a toast, our love we send, For you, Auntie, are a true godsend. In our hearts, you’ll forever ascend, Happy birthday, dear Aunt, our lifelong friend!

Auntie dear, on this special day, We gather ’round, our love on display. Your kindness and warmth, like the sun’s ray, Brighten our lives in every way. From funeral eulogies to quotes, finding the perfect words can be a challenge. But hopefully these poets can help you say exactly what you’re feeling. Auntie, on this special date, We gather ’round to celebrate. Your love, a bond that won’t abate, With you, life’s a cherished state. Sutphen spent her childhood on a Minnesota farm. That means her poems are tinged with rural imagery. She had many aunts, each one different in her own way. Davidson remembers an aunt long gone. Her memories capture what the Civil War was like. 14. "For Aunt Lizzy” by William Wilborn

May this birthday bring you glee, And moments of sweet ecstasy. With you, we know we’re free, Happy birthday, dear Aunt, forever key! T.S. Eliot is known as a giant of American literature. Even Eliot, though, took the time to memorialize his aunt. This tongue-in-cheek poem is a reminder of how life goes on, even after a loss. The poem is told from an omniscient point of view. Your heart, a haven, safe and warm, With you, we weather any storm. In your presence, we transform, Auntie dear, you have great charm. There is a sense of constant displacement in these poems, the dialogical struggle between the ‘here and now’ and the ‘there and then’, the real of apparent incommensurability of languages that ‘translate poorly’. This merges into a specific formal experimentation where Odubanjo’s own written words refuse to take the shape of capital letters, a kind of subversive statement. Kinship – as is clear from the very title of the pamphlet – becomes the scaffolding for the poems and a constant reference for the reader. A daring and delicate, bitter and yet funny touch in describing the ordinary, distinguishes this pamphlet as being a powerful achievement. It’s never a bad idea to remind someone how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate all that they’ve done for you in your life. Read these poems for aunts for inspiration, or gift one of them to your favorite aunt. She will be touched by your thinking of her!

To the one we hold so dear, Auntie, on your birthday, we cheer. Your love makes our hearts sincere, With you, each day is a premiere. Thank You For Always Being There For the innumerable times she was there to help you through a struggle.I Miss You Poems Missing someone, whether it’s a friend or family member, can be a painful experience filled with loneliness and longing. These poems express that feeling and can remind you that you are not alone. When you think about the individuals who have shaped your life, there are probably a number of people who come to mind. There are friends, teachers, mentors, public figures, strangers, and, of course, family members who all have made an impact on the way we live our lives.
