Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. Writing a poem for parent's funeral can be near impossible, you've just lost one or both of the most loving people in the world and writing a funeral poem is probably going to be impossible.
It requires that you sit down and think about the person who has passed on, and decide on the traits and stories that you want to share about their life. Like all particulars of the funeral the music should reflect the individual personality of the deceased. Another part of a good statement will describe some shared memories of the deceased.
Just knowing you have a backup speaker will probably be all you need to stay calm. Make sure that your resolution is short, especially if other people are planning on giving separate eulogies. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it.
Now, all you have to do is to find a practical way, using poems for the deceased, to remember that as you go through your daily life. Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass.
