Poem on family and Ancestors
In the embrace of family, we find strength
A bond that transcends time and extends in length
Roots deep in the soil, like the ancient trees
We honor our ancestors and their legacies.
Elédùmarè, guide our family’s path
With your wisdom and love
We’ll never stray from the right path
Bless our connections, from generation to generation
May our bond grow stronger with divine intervention.
Working the land, hand in hand
We carry on the traditions, passed down and grand.
From sunrise to sunset, our labour we share
With gratitude in our hearts for those who were there.
Elédùmarè, guide our family’s path
With your wisdom and love
We’ll never stray from the right path
Bless our connections, from generation to generation
May our bond grow stronger with divine intervention.
In the harvest’s bounty, we see our ancestors’ grace
Their spirits guiding us, the love they embrace
Their wisdom whispers through the wind’s gentle sway
Reminding us to honor them in all that we say.
Elédùmarè, guide our family’s path
With your wisdom and love
We’ll never stray from the right path
Bless our connections, from generation to generation
May our bond grow stronger with divine intervention.
With each meal shared, around the family table
We feel our ancestors’ presence, their love that is stable.
Their stories and memories, forever in our hearts,
They shape our identities and make us who we are.
Elédùmarè, guide our family’s path
With your wisdom and love
We’ll never stray from the right path
Bless our connections, from generation to generation
May our bond grow stronger with divine intervention.
In the warmth of laughter and moments of joy
We celebrate our lineage and connections that employ
From the elders’ wisdom, to the children’s innocent play
Our farmily thrives, shining bright each day.
Elédùmarè, guide our family’s path
With your wisdom and love
We’ll never stray from the right path
Bless our connections, from generation to generation
May our bond grow stronger with divine intervention.
With gratitude and reverence, we thank our ancestors for their sacrifices, their love, and all that they do
May Eledumare’s blessings forever abound
In our farmily’s bond, in love we are crowned.
Mímó Mímó ni ti olúwa Olórun Elédùmarè
Ibà fún Elédùmarè
Ibà Ásee!
