Iโve been working over the Christmas and New Year period, meeting with some absolutely lovely families.

๐ I wish you peace, and comfort, and Thankyou for being incredibly brave and vulnerable at really difficult times. You are all so inspiring ๐
Time to share this lovely poem, written by a fellow celebrant. โ๏ธ
What Is A Celebrant? - Written By Gwyn Davies
Celebrant, Celebrant, what is it you do?
Iโm a little old fashioned and havenโt a clue.
Celebrant, Celebrant, what is it you do?
Are you religious, or is that taboo?
Who is your target, where is your goal?
Iโm a little confused, as to what is your role.
Are you religious, or the atheist sort,
Iโm a bit in the dark and need to be taught.
Well let me enlighten, Iโll try and explain,
Iโm there as a person to try ease the pain.
It isnโt about me or any belief,
I try help the loved ones to help with their grief.
Thereโs more than two options, to help people through,
So Iโll try and explain, what us Celebrants do.
We take an approach, with a personal touch,
For loved ones in need of the help for a crutch.
Some arenโt religious, but still want a prayer,
Or even a hymn, and weโre happy to share.
It just doesnโt matter what our belief,
Weโll use an approach, that helps bring relief.
So as you can see, itโs not black or white,
We offer a service that we just try make right.
Right for the person, whose life has passed on,
And try help those hurting, as their loved one has gone.
We tick all the boxes, some people say,
We try make it special, in our own unique way.
Times are a changing, changing so fast,
We must try move forward, not stuck in the past.
To help and bring comfort, is our real aim,
Each service is special, no two the same
Happy to meet to discuss what we do
At a time or a place chosen by you.
Happy new year to all of you x
