All Souls

They are never truly gone

Always there with us 

In our hearts and in our minds

Always with us

We take them with us wherever we may go

And though they maybe gone 

Their presence we feel

In our daily lives

In the things we do

In things that reminds us of them

They continue to live in our memory of them

Never haunting us 

But always with us

Guiding our way, lighting our path

And one day they get to visit us

On trails of petals of orange 

To ofrendas put up in their honour 

They traverse over the bridge

That connects our world with theirs

Following the trails of petals of orange

To be with us 

To spend time with us 

To do the things they loved to do

Eat the food they love 

And drink the drinks they have drunk

And we in turn pray for them 

Especially the ones struggling to find peace

That through our payers, words, and deeds

That they find their way home
