Poem for Remembrance Ceremony*
In the quietude of this sacred space,
We come together, hearts intertwined in grace,
A remembrance ceremony, where tears may fall,
To honor those who’ve answered destiny’s call.
O Eledumare, the divine and supreme,
Bless this gathering, like a tranquil stream,
Grant us solace as we recall,
The lives we cherish, one and all.
Their spirits dance on the wings of time,
A symphony of memories, both sweet and sublime,
Their laughter echoes through the halls of our soul,
Guiding us gently, making us whole.
O Eledumare, in reverence we stand,
Hold us close in your merciful hand,
Grant us strength as we reminisce,
And celebrate the love that we’ll forever miss.
In the history of life, their presence remains,
The lessons they taught, the joys and the pains,
Their love interwoven in our very core,
An eternal flame that forevermore soars.
O Eledumare, with humility we pray,
Guide us through this poignant day,
Wrap us in your comforting embrace,
As we honor their spirits with love and grace.
As candles flicker, casting a gentle glow,
We honor their essence, their vibrant soul,
Their light shines bright, even in the dark,
A beacon of love, a celestial spark.
O Eledumare, in this sacred space,
Grant us solace, your divine embrace,
Help us find peace amidst the sorrow,
As we remember them today and tomorrow.
In this remembrance ceremony, we find solace,
Our tears mingling with memories that lace,
Together we stand, united as one,
Honoring the lives of those now gone.
O Eledumare, in gratitude we confide,
Thank you for the souls who’ve touched our lives,
In their absence, may we find strength anew,
As we remember, with love ever true.
In the chambers of our hearts, their legacy lies,
Their love, an eternal flame that never dies,
In this gathering, their spirits are near,
Whispering words of comfort, calming every fear.
O Eledumare, in your infinite grace,
Bless this remembrance, this sacred space,
Guide us as we navigate this path we tread,
With their memory alive, in our hearts and head.
In this hallowed moment, we hold them close,
Their presence transcends, like a fragrant rose,
Their essence lingers, a gentle breeze,
As we honor their lives, with love that won’t cease.
