Baptism of Love
Audrey Hepburn once said “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow”
Like children, For a flower to bloom, petal by petal, we need to nurture it, show love, patience and care. We make a promise to care and nurture, even when we may not always see immediate results. To grow a garden we can not do this alone. We get support from the sun, rain and the soil that we stand on. Together they help our flowers to grow and blossom.
As each new seed is planted and nurtured with help, a beautiful Garden blooms.
Today we ask our fairy godparents along with the support from our family and friends to help us nurture and love our children
As a symbol of this intention to continue growing with life, we ask you to add soil to each flower, followed by water. As the sun rises the flowers will grow - (here comes the sun - the Beatles starts to play)
May you know the gift of friendship
Feel the sun upon your face
May you win displaying dignity
And accept defeat with grace
May you marvel at the wonders Of nature and the earth
May you value education
And know your own true worth
May you live and love with honesty
And do the thing that’s right
May you stand up for the helpless
And sleep in peace at night
May you thrive upon a challenge
And sing and dance and laugh
May you feel true love and follow your own path
