*Poem for departed soul and burial ceremony*
Gone from our sight, but forever near,
Their spirits whisper, soothing every fear.
Guiding us through life’s uncertain tide,
With blessings from above, they are our guide.
chorus
oh, Elédùmarè creator of all,
watch over the soul you created
keep the departed soul and enrich the spirit of the living.
Though tears may fall, and hearts may ache,
Their love and memories we will never forsake.
For in our thoughts, they forever dwell,
A bond unbroken, no words can tell.
chorus
oh, Elédùmarè creator of all,
watch over the soul you created
keep the departed soul and enrich the spirit of the living.
Friends and family left behind,
Bound by love, their souls entwined.
We cherish the moments we shared,
Knowing their presence can’t be compared.
chorus
oh, Elédùmarè creator of all,
watch over the soul you created
keep the departed soul and enrich the spirit of the living.
So let us honor their legacy,
With gratitude and joyful memory.
With Eledumare’s favor upon their soul,
In our hearts, they will forever hold.
chorus
oh, Elédùmarè creator of all,
watch over the soul you created
keep the departed soul and enrich the spirit of the living.
Mimo mimo ni ti oluwa olorun Elédùmarè
Iba fun Elédùmarè
Iba Asee.
