Ancestral Souls
I whisper a prayer of gratitude,
To the eternal souls of my kin.
They gaze upon the turning Earth,
Where candle flames rise with each hymn.
They smile, for they are not forgotten,
Their grace still breathes in living hearts.
A gift of light, a sacred spark,
That guides new souls to play their part.
And one day, we too shall look down,
Upon the mortal lands below.
Joining the chorus of timeless voices,
Whose love and wisdom ever flow.
