SAMPLE POEMS:
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA #1
My Grandma and Grandpa are quite a remarkable pair,
They love being on the links…you can often find them there.
They took me to London where we saw “The King and I,”
Shopping at Harrods was great ….so many things to buy.
Toured Windsor Castle…at Stonehenge we were amazed,
When Grandma misplaced her camera …she got a little crazed.
When dining at Ruth Chris, there was a bit of strife,
A man was choking on his meal…but Grandpa saved his life.
Grandma and Grandpa, let’s start all the fun,
I love you both very much…come light candle #1.
BETH #4
My cousin Beth’s a Hoosier; she attends IU,
She’s journalism major; it’s what she wants to do.
She worked at “E” this summer and when it got hot,
Off she went to Central Park to tan in her favorite spot.
She loves to go shopping for Gucci and Prada,
If it doesn’t have those labels, she says nada, nada, nada!
It’s great to have Beth for a cousin; I couldn’t ask for more,
So come up here now and light candle #4.
Special Offer…..we understand it’s not always easy to come up with ideas for what to write
about your candle lighters. Over the years we have developed a “Candle lighting Suggestion Sheet”
which we send to our customers to help focus their thoughts and give them some helpful hints.
We would like to make this available to you….even if you choose not to use our services…
as a thank you for stopping by. Please contact us at 732-679-8093 and we will send it to you with no obligation.
NEW IDEA!
Many customers have asked for a new idea for a “candle lighting,” while still honoring family and friends.
Let us create a unique ceremony for you by blowing up a photo of your child,
mounting it and cutting it up into 13 (or more) pieces as the honorees make your child “whole” by placing each piece.
Each piece is numbered on the back and corresponds to the shape on the board.
The overall size is 20” x 30” (vertically.)
Some choose to do this instead of the traditional candle lighting…while others do both. You decide!
Just email us a photo of your child and we do the rest.
And of course….don’t forget we can write the “puzzle” poems as well!
CANDLE LIGHTING GIFTS
Candle lighting poems may be framed (5″x7″) and wrapped for presentation to each candle lighter
as a remembrance of this special day and event.
Just tell us the theme of your party and we will border the poems with appropriate colors and graphics.
Each gift is wrapped to match your color scheme. Wrapping is available in several styles and colors.
All gifts are tagged with the recipients’ name and candle number.
For your child, the Candle lighting poems are printed individually on jumbo postcards (5” x 8”)
in large print … one poem per card and are ringed together for ease of handling. They also make a great memento.
BIMA SPEECHES
It may be difficult to express all those thoughts and feelings running through your head……. and your heart.
We are great at making sense of all those disparate ideas and creating a coherent, thoughtful sentiment
that truly conveys your emotions and hopes and dreams for your child.
