As we bade them

Farewell May their 

Deeds remain firmly 

Rooted In Our Hearts 

So we don’t forget them! 

 

As we bade them

Farewell, May their 

Voices re-echo their

Words, admonishments

To Us; So we be Guided 

 

As we bade them

Farewell, May we 

Remember the kindnesses 

They showered on Us

And May these lights 

A perpetual flame in 

Our hearts And Minds. 

 

As we bade them

Farewell, May we 

Devote our Time to 

Carry on from Where 

They left, So there 

Be no void to dim

The light they left Us 

 

As we bade them 

Farewell, May we 

Pause occasionally 

To reflect on the 

Time they spent with 

Us, the fun, joy and laughter. 

 

As we bade them 

Farewell, May we 

Resolve to learn from

The examples they left 

Us! They were Human 

Just like Us. But they had

Their Good sides! 

 

As we bade them 

Farewell, May we 

Be reminded that 

They were like Us, 

We shall One Day 

Be like them. 

 

Finally, as we bade 

Them farewell, May 

We love one another,

Forgive one another 

Strive to be at peace 

With each other. !

Departed Loved Ones who were laid to rest this past weekend!) .
