Poem for Family and Ancestors*
In the inventory of time, a story unfolds,
Of a family’s journey, as history beholds,
Ancestral whispers, carried on the breeze,
Their presence woven in our hearts with ease.
ELEDUMARE, the sacred thread we weave,
Connecting generations, their spirits conceive.
With gratitude and reverence, we honor their name,
In their footsteps, we continue the flame.
From distant lands, they ventured afar,
Braving the unknown, guided by a star,
Their courage like a beacon, steadfast and true,
Rooted in love, their legacy grew.
ELEDUMARE, the eternal guide and light,
Guiding us forward, through day and night.
Their wisdom embedded, deep in our souls,
As we strive to achieve the dreams they once strolled.
Through trials endured and battles fought,
They stood as pillars, their strength never bought,
In their embrace, we find solace and might,
Their resilience still shining, in our darkest night.
ELEDUMARE, the keeper of our kin,
In their footsteps, we find strength from within.
Their spirits linger, ever by our side,
Guiding us, comforting, as we stride.
Their stories passed down, like whispers in the air,
Weaving tales of triumphs and burdens they bear,
Their love imprinted, like etchings in stone,
A heritage cherished, forever known.
ELEDUMARE, the foundation of our past,
In their essence, our legacy is vast.
With gratitude, we carry their flame,
Bound by bloodline, their honor we claim.
In the tapestry of family, we stand tall,
United by love’s unbreakable thrall,
For they are the roots that anchor us deep,
A connection eternal, forever to keep.
ELEDUMARE, the eternal source of grace,
In our lineage, we find our rightful place.
With reverence and pride, we continue the line,
Celebrating our family, intertwined.
As we journey through life, side by side,
Their spirits guide us, a comforting guide,
For in the embrace of family, we find,
A love that endures, transcending time.
ELEDUMARE, the bond that never wanes,
Through generations, their presence remains.
With gratitude and love, we forever proclaim,
Our family’s story, an everlasting flame.
