Sample Bar Mitzvah Candle Lighting Ceremony Poem

My grandfather who I love so dear 
Passed away recently, but I know he is near 
His was my second home in Florida, of this I know 
He told me how proud he was as he watched me grow 
Grandpa was a baker and bread he would always make 
With flour on the table, in the center he made a lake 
This candle is to honor him, that has been my plan 
Please come up to light it with me, Uncle Frank & Aunt Marianne 

He has a pony tail and she loves to make french toast 
Enjoying all our meals in bed is what I love the most 
Whether it's riding a tandem bike together or frequenting street fairs 
They're my New York City grandparents and no love matches theirs
They let me drive their boat and do everything I want to do 
Dear Grandma and Grandpa Birdie please come up for candle number two

I am so happy these next two people moved here, back up north 
Now in order to see them we don't have to go back and forth 
When I come to visit you my heartbeat starts to quicken 
Cause no one in the world can compete with your famous chicken 
I'm so glad to have you here, it really is a thrill 
Please come up for number three, Grandma Disney and Grandpa Bill 

You always take great care of us when Mom and Dad are away 
Every year for Christmas, it's Florida that we stay 
I love you for your grace and charm and because you're oh so witty 
It's great that you have a fondness for the likes of Atlantic City 
Please know how much I miss you whenever we're apart 
I love my Irish grandma with all my Irish heart 
Come on Grandma, let's light candle number four together 

I was the ring bearer at your wedding which really was a treat 
I love your funny birthday cards, I think they're really sweet 
It's wonderful you live so close, I really must proclaim 
Thanks so much for taking me to my very first Flyers game 
My first word was kraka (for Erica) which really caused a stir 
Little Rachel is so cute, some day I'll sit for her 
I'm so happy you're all here or else it would be odd 
Come up to light number five, Aunt Erica, Cousin Rachel and Uncle Todd 

I love that I'm the big cousin around our little brood 
Uncle Richie is so funny, he puts me in a great mood 
Soon you'll marry Marci and your family will make four 
As our family grows and grows there'll be lots of fun galore 
Aunt Jenni and Uncle Lon are the New York City pair 
We play with Ethan and with Bryn whenever we are there 
Candle number six awaits you no matter the order you're in
Come up Uncle Richie, Marci, Aunt Jenn, Uncle Lon, Taylor, Jordan, Ethan and Bryn 

What can I say about this next person who doesn't have a flaw 
She helped deliver me when was I born so was the first face I ever saw 
She's a chiropractor and deputy mayor of a small New Jersey town 
Yet in her spare time she jumps from planes and isn't afraid of looking down 

If Dave and Nikita could come up here, I'd really be in heaven 
Help me get Aunt Debbie Buzby to light candle number seven 

Every year we vacation with a big group of our friends 
Each year the group gets bigger and the laughter never ends 
It started off with the GreenHalls down the Jersey shore 
Then we added the Fasciacos at the beach and more fun was in store 
Soon came cruising and the McConnell family decided to join in
The pools were always awesome as was every place we've been
Finally the Hintons finished our group with a trip to Punta Cana
Mike G, Bobbie F and all my vacation buddies please come up-you know you really wanna 

You've shared every important day with me through my entire life
Were we to miss a holiday it would fill my heart with strife 
Next year though I'll skip the horseradish, you all know why, I suppose
It was so spicy and you laughed so hard when it came right out my nose 
If you could come join me here it really would be fine 
Aunt Jen, Uncle Steve, Adin and Tylie please light candle number nine 

My Mom's sisters are always around, they're here for each special day 
Carmel and Marie are in Woodstock and are never too far away 
Aunt Deb lives near us in Philly and always has a smile 
My uncles are cool also and add a classy style 
Caroline loves to act and marches with the band 
Nicole is off to college where good grades are in high demand 
Fiona is really cute, she's a little slice of heaven
Come on up all you guys for candle number eleven 

Now we come to this final candle on which to make a wish
Should it be for a video game or perhaps a satellite dish 
I could always wish for a classic guitar or some such little thing 
But I should wish for something important because, oh what joy it'll bring 

With this candle I make a wish that may not be with the trends 
I wish for more wonderful times to celebrate with family and with friends
