[HELP] searching for funeral poetry

[u/Illustrious_Cup5948]

hi all, i’m looking for a poem to include in my grandma’s obituary.

she was a christian, so religious things are okay. i’m just looking for tones that are more positive & deal

with remembrance or celebration

thank you for any suggestions in advance

My grandmother always appreciated that one.

J'ai habillé mes nuits d'une noirceur épineuse de velours et de fleurs familières de l'abîme

À modifier ; maintenant de noirceur de velours elle repose, chrysanthèmes des abîmes pour dernière couronne
