LYRICAL PICTOGRAM FOR WHO?

It goes without saying that we are nourished through life by food and water, and the nurture of love. We also need a place to call home. After these surely the greatest thing we have to sustain us are stories. We need them. They are how we recall every moment of history, be that global or something personal to us, and by shining a light upon the past, stories can serve to be a beacon to the future. They can entertain, educate, enlighten. They can preserve tradition and inspire change. They can comfort us with reminders of the familiar or thrill us with adventure to places that are not.

We all remember stories as small children, sitting down to hear one at school, catching our favourite cartoon once home, excited for a story to be read at bedtime. Think of all the fairytales we’ve grown up with, the nursery rhymes. Theatre, television and film, endless tales we’ve been riveted by. Remember that first time you got completely lost in a book. The tears of laughter remembering a joke shared. Then there are the remembrances we share about those who are sadly no longer with us in body, a part of their light living on in the tales we share so they remain with us in spirit. We are ourselves a collection of stories, and it is those that make us unique and interesting, for no novel will ever be written the same way again.

This is just part of the magic a Lyrical Pictogram can be, a celebration of that ultimate art which weaves throughout our lives in myriad ways.

Here below are just some suggestions to inspire you.

Lyrical Pictogram & the child.

A story read to or by a child can open up a world of possibilities. Imagine if they are the centre of that story, and they have a dream, perhaps to fly into space, chase dragons, dance with fairies, become prime minister…Just think what such a tale would mean to them, to treasure for years to come.

Lyrical Pictogram & the friend.

How you’ve laughed! And perhaps cried. They’ve been there in the fun times and the tough times, always by your side be it near or far. In amongst a drama or two they’ve always given you strength and brought you joy, so have this special union that is golden - friendship - gleam from the page.

Lyrical Pictogram & your beloved.

Let romance flourish in the detail of shared memory, with tenderness, passion, laughter and love. How and where you first met, holidays taken, your favourite song. Maybe animal companions or children play a part, or when you created a new home together. Let us mark the celebration of your great amour.

Lyrical Pictogram & a lasting farewell.

Sadly grief visits us all at certain times in life, and in our sorrow we know one thing, we will never forget those we have to bid farewell to. Through your pain bring forth all that should be remembered in your history together; poignant moments, laughter, joy… let our words flow in celebration of who they were, who they will always be.

Lyrical Pictogram & the… well, anything.

The only limit to a Lyrical Pictogram is our imaginations, which don’t really have a limit. We could write one about your favourite holiday, your favourite colour, your favourite spoon, your love of hats, the fact you’re an international disco dancing champion… well, anything.

Lyrical Pictogram & the pet.

We couldn’t forget our cherished animal companions, the loving inter-species bond that has been such a constant in our lives, indeed they are family. The personality of your pet can conjure up a beautiful tale from their point of view, expressing how they look upon you.

Lyrical Pictogram & the you.

Sometimes we need look no further than ourselves. Perhaps you would like a Lyrical Pictogram to affirm, to call back to you and always refresh your thoughts on who you are, what you’ve achieved, what you’ve yet to achieve. Reminding you to dream, to envision, to believe.

Lyrical Pictogram: Part Two infinitum.

Needless to say we sincerely hope you’ll love your Lyrical Pictogram. But imagine getting one at the age of 7, then a sequel at 8, another at 9… and so on. For the Lyrical Pictogram can grow with your child. Perhaps returning to them once more upon their graduation, their wedding day, the birth of their first child… together building a timeless keepsake of their life.
