POEM FOR NAMING CEREMONIES
I hold you in my arms,
Your age is told in months,
There are things I hope you’ll learn,
Things I’m sure I learned once.
You are welcome to this beautiful world baby!
Eledumare will make you survive and grow.
There is nothing I can teach you,
You will find all that you need,
No flower bends its head to offer
teaching to a seed.
You are welcome to this beautiful world baby!
Eledumare will make you survive and grow.
The seed will grow and blossom once the
Flower’s ground to dust.
But even so,if nothing else,one thing I’ll entrust:
Doing what you please is not the same as doing
what you must.
You are welcome to this beautiful world baby!
Eledumare will make you survive and grow.
You are young but will grow,
No one is the determinant of your life but Eledumare,
Your survival and growth depends on Eledumare.
You are welcome to this beautiful world baby!
Eledumare will make you survive and grow.
Mimo Mimo ni ti oluwa Eledumare
Iba fun Eledumare
