Example:
Tribute to Parents

               Dad
            I do miss
      I think of our love
  I fall back on memories
I know your together now
       I have no sadness
            For now I 
               Write

               ****

               Mom
           I love you
    I feel your presence
I know you are real happy
  You are in paradise now
  You tend God’s gardens
           On bended
              Knee

              ****

                    I
             Hear angels
       You are both among
 Mom greets the new arrivals
Dad escorts them to meet God
     As Daughter I’m proud
             To be your
                 Seed

               ****

               Now
       You must wait
 God helps me with verse
I write to praise Holy name
 Both of you are guardians
     I cherish you both
             Forever
              Yours
