Prayer In A Country Cemetary

[Lorenzo]

(in memoriam of loved ones, friends that have been called home).

In Memoriam of my friend, Robert Matson, whose death anniversary is on November 19.
Robert left this world in November 19, 2007.

I celebrate and honor his life. All 22 years.
I miss you, my beloved friend and brother.
Forever, you shall be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lord, here lie in their last rest,
the boys and girls,
the men and women that worked on the land.
They knew the meaning of hard work.
They knew the joy and peace that is the product of labour.
Now we trust they know the peace and happiness
of everlasting life with You.

They watched the sun rise often,
winter and summer,
over these hills and fields.
They worked hard by its light,
and turned willingly to their rest at its setting.
Now they walk in the light of a Sun
that knows no setting.
Lord, if they are still in the waiting room of heaven,
in purgatory,
bring them speedily to the light of Your peace
and the happiness of Your presence.

These men and women all their lives long
laboured to supply the food and drink necessary
to sustain human life.
Now, or soon,
they enjoy in all its fullness the life that You, Lord,
came down to earth to give men,
and to give more abundantly.

Dear Lord, bless us who labour now in the fields and hills
where these dear dead have worked.
Grant that we may remember them with charity and kindness,
walking reverently in the ways that they have left behind them.
Grant, too, that we may finally meet these men and women,
these boys and girls,
in the eternal mansions that You are even now preparing
for us.

Amen.

Dihay duha ka hubog nga nanguli.
Mi-suggest ang usa nga sa sementeryo
na lang sila mo-short cut para dali
makaabot sa ilang balay kay silingan
ra man pod sila.

Dapit sa tunga-tunga sa sementeryo
naay gasige ug dukdok. Nagkakusog
ang dukdok ug nakita nila ang usa ka tawo
nga nagkulit intawon sa lapida.

Miingon ang usa ka hubog. Oy, Manong,
pagka-gabii pod nimo nagtrabaho anang lapida.

Tawo: Aaay, gi-wrong spelling man gud nila
ning akong ngalan.

Ug mikaratil ug dagan ang duha ka hubog.
