Poem for Remembrance Ceremony*
In the stillness of this sacred hour,
We gather, souls united, hearts empowered,
A remembrance ceremony, a sacred rite,
To honor those who’ve taken flight.
O Eledumare, the supreme divine,
Our voices rise in heartfelt rhyme,
Bless this gathering, this hallowed space,
As we remember with love and grace.
In the masterpiece of life’s eternal thread,
They’ve woven memories, now sacred spread,
Their spirits linger, like a gentle breeze,
Whispering wisdom through the rustling trees.
O Eledumare, with reverence we sing,
Grant us solace, like an angel’s wing,
Guide our thoughts as we reflect,
On the lives we cherish and deeply respect.
In the realm of remembrance, we find solace,
Where love transcends time, never to be erased,
Their laughter, their smiles, forever engraved,
In the depths of our souls, their light’s saved.
O Eledumare, in this solemn hour,
Bestow upon us your divine power,
Wrap us in your comforting embrace,
As we honour their presence and embrace their grace.
As we share stories, their spirits arise,
Their essence dances, painting the skies,
Their legacy lives on in every heartbeat,
A testament to love, forever complete.
O Eledumare, we offer our prayers,
Guide us through grief, alleviate our cares,
Fill our hearts with cherished memories,
As we gather here, bound by love’s decrees.
In this remembrance ceremony, let us find,
Strength in unity, as one heart combined,
With gratitude, we embrace their earthly flight,
And carry their spirit, forever shining bright.
O Eledumare, in this sacred place,
We seek solace, your divine embrace,
Guide us as we remember, forevermore,
The souls we honor, deep in our core.
