We are going to be present
When God takes you into his family;
So don't cry when they throw water at you
Just join us cheeily.
""
As the droplets of water
On your forehead fall;
You will bear the mark
And answer his call.
To follow his footsteps
Be as nice as nice can be;
Bring praise and honor to his name
And pride to your Grandad and me.

Today, let's remember
God now has a new little member
We ask God to care for your child
And pray (Bobby) will have a smooth ride
And as (he) (she) travels along life's road
(He) (She) is never burdened with a heavy load
You are being blessed this day
Anointed with Christs life;
A brand new start from this very day
Protecting you from strife.
His footsteps you should follow
They'll lead you up to heaven;
Congratulations on this event
You will be forgiven.
You are a lovely baby
Beautiful, miraculous it's true;
We all love you very much
Today we will pray for you.

Everyones turned up
All dressed up to the nines;
To celebrate with you
I hope I remember my lines.
We will give you your name
All official like so Jesus knows it too;
That whatever happens in the days ahead
He'll be able to answer you.
Thank you for being our Godchild
We'll wrap you in our prayers,
And ask the Lord to keep you
In his gentle loving care.

Walking beside you,
To help and guide you,
You will always be there
In our love and prayer.

Christening Poems
**
A wee bit of heaven
Drifted down from above;
A handful of happiness
A heartful of love.
The mystery of life
So sacred so sweet;
The giver of joy
So deep and complete.
Precious and priceless
so lovable too;
The worlds'sweetest miracle
Baby, Is You

The children that we borrow
From God who's up above;
Are here for us to teach them
And here for us to Love.
They learn respect and honor
And how to work hard too;
But to honor God Almighty
Is what they're supposed to do.
Respect their life and others too
Show loving kindness and mercy;
Whilst growing up within their kin
Practicing their skills in Gods nursery.

As you name your child on this day
We add our wish, that in every way
Life ahead, will be as wonderful as can be
That's our wish for (......) from (.....) and me
MM 2009
When sprinkled with holy water
A sign from above;
That you will be welcomed
With hearts full of love.
This cleaning of the soul and the spirit
Begins a new life as a follower of Christ;
That you are now a disciple
And you have agreed a tryst.
A meeting of minds and heart
Focussing on peace and love;
For when God sent his only Son
From the great heavens above.
**
Allow the little children
Let them come unto me;
Their hearts are honest and open
They do not lie-you'll see.
This is how we were meant to be
Honest, loyal and true;
To God above all others
And then to me and you.
The human race has lost it's way
There is only one way to find;
Our way back to this place of love
With no greed or hatred in mind.
Maggie-May

All of the parables
Are for us to learn;
See how we should be
For our place to earn.
Within the kingdom
There will be no place;
For anyone to be
In each others face.
So on this day
There will be a new start;
A cleansing and blessing
From Christ never to part.

Baptism Poems
**
The Ten Commandments are exactly that
They were not a multiple choice;
They were for the tribe of Israel
They would give them a voice.
They would identify by their fruits
Just who these people were;
That is the same nowadays
As actions still speak louder than words.
**
May God grant you always
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel so nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.
**
On this day your own angel appears
God instructs each and everyone;
To look after that soul and help them
To hear his words and be kind to anyone.
We all have that intuition
That's what it gets called nowadays;
But our conscience is God given
It is not he that takes it away.
If we continually don't listen
This conscience withers and dies;
So think things through carefully
And you won't be damned by surprise.
**
Godparents Poems

And ask the Lord to keep you
In his gentle loving care.

Parents Poems
Then came marriage

I hope my children look back on today
and remember a mother who had time to play.
There will be plenty of time for cleaning and cooking
Children grow up when you're not looking.
So settle down cobwebs,
Dust go to sleep.
I'm cuddling my baby
and babies don't keep.
**
Precious one,
So small,
So sweet,
Dancing in on angel feet
Straight from Heaven’s brightest star
What a miracle you are!
**
Your darling little angel
Was sent from Heaven above
As you celebrate his (her) christening
You're surrounding him (her) with love

and Verses
Grandparents Poems
Times with you are special
And all to quickly pass,
You fill our world with endless love
And memories that will last.
**
We vow to help you always!
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love
the people who treat you right.. Forget about the
ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If
it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life
would be easy, they just promised it would be
worth it.

We just want to thank the Lord
For your step of faith
In coming to Him to be baptized
And to go forth in His grace
We pray God's hand will guide you
Throughout your future years
And keep you faithful in His ways
And in His word and prayer.

Your precious little girl
Is a blessing from the Lord
A beautiful expression of God’s grace
And what His love is for.
May she grow before the Lord
As His princess that she is
For she has come into the world
For such a time as this

On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
**
The Lord will always walk with you
Along lifes blessed beach,
His footprints there beside your own
Always within reach.
Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid,
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.
Douglas MacAurthur
