My ex husband died last week and our 2 daughters have been arranging everything. Suddenly I have been asked to supply a nice poem and a version of I dreamed a dream preferably Orchestra or Instrumental but definitely not Subo. I have this new laptop and trying to get to grips with Windows 8 (horrible).

Any help (links) much appreciated.

    First of all, sorry to hear about your loss and condolences.

    Secondly, here are some versions of 'I dreamed a dream' from youtube. I hope these are suitable. :)

    If you have the Firefox Browser, you would need to use the add-on called "Video Download Helper". This add-on needs to be added to Firefox.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/?src=hp-dl-mostpopular

    Once you have added it Firefox, you would then go back to your chosen video on Youtube and download the video. The download link is at the top right hand corner of the browser's screen.

    There are lots of sites that do poems, it would depend of what your daughters want to say:

    This one stands out for me:

    Look for me in Rainbows

    Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
    Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
    In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
    Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

    Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
    Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
    In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
    Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

    It won't be forever, the day will come and then
    My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

    Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
    Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
    Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
    Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

    Just wish me to be near you,
    And I'll be there with you.

    Music and lyrics: Conn Bernard (1990). Vicki Brown

    "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye, is another poignant bereavement poem.

    Condolences to you and your daughters.

    You might need to buy the songs. Some places will not play them unless you can show you paid for them.

    Sorry for your loss xx
