Reflection for deceased

1 reply

Hi, I am looking to find a reflection for my father's months mind mass (for those that don't know it is a mass to remember him a month from his death). He was a massive motorbike fan and I was wondering if anyone knew of any appropriate poems/reflections that we could read out at mass that would be suitable but also reflect his interests. Thanks in advance

Do any of these work for you?

We Ride As One Author Unknown
We’re many in number but we ride as one,
With the pavement beneath us and our face in the sun.
With the wind at our backs and our gear all on,
We ride in remembrance of those who have passed on.
As the engines start up, and our rumble grows loud.
We ride for our brethren who can no longer be found.
The sunglasses we wear are to cover our tears.
Remembering those who ride that we’ve held so dear.
So let us ride to help make others aware.
That the roads that we ride are for all to share.
And to those not with us or by our side,
May God be your partner on your final ride.

His Journey Goes On by Joe Eliston
It’s all about the journey
It’s the part that counts
Even when he gets there
He may just turn around.
He rides like an eagle, flying
All along the stars;
It’s all about the journey
Safe now from any harm.
Too soon he left to travel
Beyond where we can see
But it’s all about the journey
Forever riding free.
