*Poem for departed souls and burial ceremony*
Rest now, dear departed soul
Your journey on earth has taken its toll
Find peace in the world beyond
Eternal rest, your spirit respond
Goodbye departed soul
May ELEDUMARE bless your soul, goodbye.
Gathered here today to say goodbye
To a cherished soul that had to fly
A ceremony of farewell we hold
As memories and love we enfold
Goodbye departed soul
May ELEDUMARE bless your soul, goodbye.
A solemn procession, mournful and slow
A final journey, where we go to let go
A body, a soul to rise
A comforting prayer, as we say our goodbyes.
Goodbye departed soul
May ELEDUMARE bless your soul, goodbye.
As we gather here to say goodbye,
Our hearts are heavy, our minds distressed
But memories of you we’ll always hold
A life well-lived, a story so bold
Goodbye departed soul
May ELEDUMARE bless your soul, goodbye.
Mimo Mimo ni ti oluwa olorun ELEDUMARE
Iba fun ELEDUMARE
