Sympathy poetry should make the recipient feel cared for. This free sympathy poem contains a condolence message—words of condolence that are heartfelt. I’ll Always Be There Your loss is your whole world today; Your hurt feelings will not go away; If you’re needing a friend, On whom you’ll depend, Call me anytime, any day.

Let me come in where you are weeping, friend, And let me take your hand. I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, Can understand.

An honest man here lies at rest, The friend of man, the friend of truth, The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with knowledge so inform’d; If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this.
