Elegy Poem Examples to Honour a Stepson
“The Bond We Built”
We didn’t start with shared bloodlines,
But built a bond in our own time.
With every laugh and learning curve,
You showed a love I don’t deserve.
Though now you rest beyond my view,
The love we built still carries through.
“In All the Small Things”
The way you smiled, the things you’d do,
The way you’d tease then help me too.
The silly jokes, the games we played,
The quiet strength you never faked.
Though now those moments fade from view,
They still live on in all I do.
“You Let Me In”
You didn’t have to take my hand,
Or meet me where I tried to stand.
But slowly, gently, step by step,
You showed me love with quiet depth.
Now though you’re gone, I still hold near,
The way you let me just be here.

“A Son in Every Way”
You weren’t born into my name,
But still you loved me just the same.
You made me laugh, you let me grow,
And taught me things I didn’t know.
Now in your absence, I still find,
The son you were in heart and mind.
“A Chapter Too Short”
You left before your story’s end,
Before more days for us to spend.
But in the time that we did share,
You proved how deeply one could care.
Though grief now writes what time won’t do,
The love remains—forever true.
