Loved Ones' Eternal Presence

Engulfed with parents’ unconditional love My soul remains blissful with the blessings of the Father above. Having been pampered with Dad and Mom’s generous care My heart is constantly warmed by the kindness they did freely share. Thus, with the legend of undying beloved spirits' lingering Culture-bound, my perspective acknowledges its functional securing. Both Daddy Robert and Mama Artence are with the Lord now Physically absent, yet legend attests that they are fulfilling their vow. With the legend of dead loved ones staying to behold their property My mind adheres to tribal belief upholding clan bonding’s intensity. Actually, right beside our house we call as home-sweet-home Stand the tombs of Mom and Dad, tenaciously protecting family dome. Midst the reality of custom-built graveyard, away from public cemetery My faith, anchored by Scriptures, clings to God’s resurrection*-victory. *John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
