Early Sunday Morning
When the sky was a fluffy baby blue
You could see clearly til the next day
No seats left to fill
Family and friends from near and far
Gathered closely to hear me named
It was my “Christening Day”
The day I was named before all who cared
All dressed in white
Alert as could be
Ready and willing
Understanding nothing
But accepting all that came
Bouncy and nervous
Laughing then crying
Prayers and blessings
Being passed about
To and from
All those that will guide me
My heart became open to all that would come ahead of me
My head fully anointed
Greeted by all
Then the celebration began
Glad to be among all who celebrate me
On the day that I was named me, again
Before the lord
Naming Day©
