I'm in need of some advice.

My grandfather passed away a couple weeks ago at 91 and his funeral is this week. I've been asked to say a short poem at the funeral but want to choose a more appropriate one myself. Was going to go with Yeats but thought best not.

Any ideas of a good appropriate poem for a 91 year old man's funeral?

What poem were you asked to read and why? Maybe the choice is meaningful in some way and should be respected.

Anyway, Thanatopsis is an appropriate one but it is long. Maybe read an excerpt.
