Poem for departed souls and *burial ceremony*
1.Gone from our sight, yet close to our hearts,
We lay them down, gently, with a sigh,
A final rest, a peaceful space.
In memories cherished, stories shared,
A legacy woven, forever cared,
A place where departed souls find release.
We gather here to bid farewells
Eledumare let the soul rest
- Let their spirits ascend to a higher place. Oh, departed souls, fly free, fly high,
On wings of angels, beyond the sky,
Though parted from us, you’ll never be far from us, Our love remains.
We gather here to bid farewells
Eledumare let soul rest
- For love is the bridge that connects where you are.
So let us gather, hearts intertwined,
To honor the souls we’ve left behind,
In this moment of sorrow, we find solace anew.
We gather here to bid farewells
Eledumare let the soul rest
4.For they live on in us, in all that we do,
To the departed souls, forever true,
Rest now, dear ones, in eternal peace,
May your spirits soar, and find release.
We gather here to bid farewells
Eledumare let the soul rest.
Mimo mimo ni ti Oluwa Olorun Eledumare
Iba fun Eledumare
Iba Asee.
