Poem for Naming Ceremony*
In the gentle embrace of dawn’s golden light,
We gather to honour a soul shining bright,
A sacred moment, a cherished decree,
A naming ceremony, a celebration to be.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
In this circle of love, we unite as one,
To welcome a spirit, a radiant sun,
A name like a river, flowing deep and wide,
Carrying dreams and hopes on life’s glorious tide.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
May the winds of fortune be forever kind,
As this child embarks on the path they find,
May wisdom be their compass, shining and true,
Guiding their steps in all that they do.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
With love as their armour and joy as their song,
May they navigate life’s challenges strong,
May their heart be a beacon, spreading love’s embrace,
Illuminating the world with kindness and grace.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
As we gather here, in this sacred space,
Let our voices blend, weaving blessings in embrace,
May this naming ceremony forever hold,
The love, joy, and dreams this child shall unfold.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
In this moment, we stand with hearts alight,
Embracing this child with love shining bright,
With gratitude and hope, we proclaim their name,
As they embark on a life ablaze with flame.
ELEDUMARE, hear our joyful plea,
Bestow your blessings, guide this child’s journey.
Mimo Mimo ni ti Oluwa Olorun ELEDUMARE
