Friends and family can be really helpful at a time like this but this doesn't help you to put down on paper how you really felt about your mom. A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate.
The right memorial service poetry can really set the mood for the whole ceremony. Perhaps you're not accustomed to public speaking, and the mere thought of speaking in front of a crowd makes you nervous. If you are asked to deliver a eulogy for someone you know, take a moment to sort out your feelings about the deceased and gather your thoughts.
If your voice starts to crack, take a deep breath and read slower. Poems can range in topics and styles, flowery or overly dramatic poetry is not the only option available. People should realize through the poem that they lived with a kind soul and great person.
Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy. If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech.
