You will want to make use of numerous quotations from the poem and explain their meaning and their significance to your argument. Obviously there are thousands of beautiful poems in existence written by famous poets, but nothing comes close to a treasured piece of prose which relates to two people, with shared meaning.
Going through some of the funeral poems with friends and family members really helps, some of the poems may make you laugh because they are such the complete opposite of the person you've just lost that you have a good laugh about it. Don't use complicated language, keep it simple. It doesn't have to rhyme.
Simple enjoyment, though, is enough reason to read spiritual poems. Many sites not only have classic love poems archived, but also make efforts to have a collection of contemporary love poems by inviting amateur poets to contribute. If the deceased was a practical joker or light-hearted individual, maybe a poem that incorporates a bit of humor would remind their family of what a happy spirit that individual was.
These steps will get you started in writing poetry. If you are giving it to read, put in a love card.
