Christening reading?

[Grandadwasthatyou]

I have been asked to give a reading at my grandchild's christening. The parents are leaving it completely up to me what I choose and it doesn't have to have a religious significance.
I really don't know where to start to research for this important family occasion. Any suggestions you wise mumsnetters?

Is this poem by Paul Cookson appropriate?

Let no-one steal your dreams
Let no-one tear apart
The burning of ambition
That fires the drive inside your heart

Let no-one steal your dreams
Let no-one tell you that you can’t
Let no-one hold you back
Let no-one tell you that you won’t

Set your sights and keep them fixed
Set your sights on high
Let no-one steal your dreams
Your only limit is the sky

Let no-one steal your dreams
Follow your heart
Follow your soul
For only when you follow them
Will you feel truly whole

Set your sights and keep them fixed
Set your sights on high
Let no-one steal your dreams
Your only limit is the sky

@GinghamChicken .. I know it's been a while but thank you so much. This was exactly what I wanted and everybody enjoyed it.
