Officiant:
I would like to invite everyone to please take a seashell and hold it in your hands and while I share a beautiful reading that (Parents names) have picked out for this special occasion, hold that shell and think about the blessings that you wish for this child and in her life.
~As guests get their shells and hold them the officiant or perhaps a guest will read this or another poem, reading or bible verse~
May your wishes all come true May you always do for others and let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung And may you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous stand upright and be strong May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy and your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful, and may your song always be sung And may you stay forever young.
Let us now take these shells that contain within them the blessings that we have wished for (Child's name) and cast them into the sea. As they touch and intertwine with one another my they spread love, blessings, and good wishes to all around us.
