That just seems so impersonal.
It probably doesn't help that I've been so very fortunate to not lose anyone really close to me, so I may lack a certain amount of empathy required to find the necessary words.

Friend lost a very young child. He said the only person at the time who brought him comfort just told him "Im here if you need me." Everyone else just said what they thought they were supposed to say.

But to be honest, you're not looking for a Hallmark card. Actions speak louder than words. If my mom died tomorrow, I'd really just want my friends to be there for me, say they're sorry for my loss, say they'd be there for me during all this, and then come through on their promise. Composing a poem isn't really going to help me all that much. Just have your friends act like your friends and maybe talk to you more often than they typically do for 3 months. That's what I'd want at least.
