Wishing for the Past

I lay in bed pondering over the past few months
And I ask my self the question why?
Why did i do what i did, why couldn't i see?
What, in my life, was more important
That i didn't realize what i was getting into?
I don't think i understood the whole situation
I musn't have seen the truth
Because the place i am now
I don't prefer and I can't help but wish
For better days that are gone.
I think of the current events that are happening
And realize I just can't do this alone
I wonder how the family is doing and my friends
and long so much to go home.
I think of the many things i was taught
And realize, maybe my parents were right afterall
Oh why didn't i listen and learn from their mistakes?
It could have saved me from this situation
And would have led me more straight.
I wish there was a way to bring back the past
But i know that's impossible
Even a few days so i could have chose a better path
Than the one I am on now.
I love my family so much
And hope and pray for their saftey
I know with your help guiding them
They can't go wrong. They can be worthy
For the work you've given them to do.
Oh God, please help the youth that are there
Help them to stand strong
Because i know if you are with them
They can't make the same mistakes I did
And it will save them from this life.

Thanks for the Love

Every time i'm without you,
The minutes drag so slowly.
It makes me realize
How i'd be so sad and lonely
Without you here to comfort me
Where would I turn to?
No one else in the world is so understanding as you.
When I am down, you cheer me up and encourage me
And when i'm sad, your always there
To love and help me see,
The many things to be grateful for in my life today.
I don't know how to thank you
Or find the words to say,
How much I love you
And adore you for loving me.
Your so dear to my heart
And you give it strength it needs
To go forward and stand strong
Through any test ahead.
With God's help and guidance
I know I can be lead.
For he has sent you here
Like an angel from above,
To be a comfort to me
And a beacon of his love.

The Reunion

When Father calls an innocent child back unto heaven
He feels they are ready for the call he has given.
The angels sing and rejoice to see their Father's smile,
As He walks forth to take the hand of this innocent child.
He has a place prepared for them, each one of us as well.
He rejoices when we choose right and weeps when tests, we fail.
With all His heart He yearns for us to come unto Him,
That we may greet Him hand in hand, at the gates of Zion.
Oh, how great will be the reunion, and how loving the embrace,
When we meet, once again, our loved ones face to face.

(Note From Writer)
This poem was written when one of my friends died. She was only 14 when she died of bone cancer.

What would I do?

What if today was my last day on this earth?
Would I do my Work well and no duties shirk?
Would I act the way I act and say the things I say?
Would I help my friends and encourage them in every way?
Would my words be kind and true to everyone I saw?
Would I prove, by my acts, I live the pure celestial law?

If Today was the very last day I had to prove
My worthiness and all weaknesses remove,
Would my every step be straight upon the narrow way,
So that every moment left of time I would not have to pay?
Would I use each second sparingly as it was my last
That I may see Our Lord again and before him pass?
To be brought forth, In Dignity and grace
As we meet once again in a Loving warm embrace.


Oh May I use this precious time the Lord has given me
That I may be among the throng at that grand jubilee.

I wrote this poem when, after visiting the doc, I was told i had lumps in my breast. I was waiting for a mamagram appointment. Cancer runs in the family so I was very worried. It turned out the lumps were not malignant, thank Heaven.

Giving Love

Some times I feel as though no one really tries to see
The times that I need love the very most,
Or when I need some gentle words of loving kindness given
And a special friend who'd hold me, close.

If I just asked for love and kindness every single day
It wouldn't mean so much to me as if they'd given it away,
But life is full of twists and turns when everyone needs help
We have to realize we aren't the only one that could use it our self.

I wonder how many times I've given love to others.
Hugged a child who scrapped their knee or helped some younger brothers.
The Lord can see our every act and every word we say.
He smiles down upon us when we bless Him in this way.

He is watching over us and guides us from above.
Heavenly Father is so kind, for truly, He is love.

Regret

Oh, How my mind has wondered over the past today.
The times that I just sat there and would not obey.
I’d listen to the teachings and hear the gospel taught,
And oh, how I regret when I could have listened and just did not!
The many times I saw the Prophet yearning just for me,
And how I just looked and would not see.

I ponder on those many days and pray the Lord to give
Me strength to carry on and my life to fully live,
That when I see Him again, I will not be ashamed
Of how I spent my precious time, my goal to obtain.

I will carry on in eternity, a Prophetess, so pure.
My calling and election made sure.

You’re Always There

You’ve always been there when I needed you.
Through tests and trials, you’ve helped me through.

Each day I see ,in you, that shining glow,
That only Heavenly people show.

Oh, my sister, how I love your gentle ways
And how you brighten up my days.

Though some day we may be far apart,
I will always remember you, in my heart,

And thank Heavenly Father for the gift
Of having you as a sister!

Just Hold on

Though our pathways may seem rugged
That we each one walk today,
And the stepping stones seem bigger,
And the sky is dark and grey,
We can find the shinning sun
And the lights of hope that say:
“Just Hold On!”

Amid the tests and trials
That this pathway sends us through,
We will see that ray of sunshine
And determine God’s will to do,
For with His help we can do it
And all begin anew.
“Just Hold On!”

We can see that rod of iron,
Now let’s each one grab a hold
And go on, as one body,
That the Lord, our hearts can mold,
So we can be that people,
When the story has been told,
That Just Held On!

A Special Angel Child

There was an angel sent to me
From God’s own throne today.

Her sparkling eyes and shining glow,
Was Heaven’s special gift.

I see my every action
Is absorbed by her keen eyes.

I pray I can be an example to her,
That she’ll only see the best.

How very blessed I am today
To have this angel child.


I want to be a person
Who will teach her as God wishes.

For I know he is watching me
And will help me if I’ll ask.

Oh God, bless me at this time,
With this precious gift,

And help her grow up to be
your Special Angel Child!

A Heavenly Queen

I saw you come into the room
With that Heavenly light shining in you.
I knew you would come at the time
I needed you the most.

Through the years we have grown together,
That time we thought would last forever.
Never knowing that, in not very long,
The day would come when you would be gone
To pave the way for us to go on.

And now is the time for us to prepare
To do that wonderful mission
Of going forth in righteousness
To redeem Zion.

God bless you forever, my dear mother,
And keep you in His care.
A Heavenly Queen, you are to us,
And a Prophetess so fair!

Our Prophet

I think of your sweet, kind face
And hear your gentle voice.
I long to see your loving smile
It makes my heart rejoice.

To think of the many teachings
We have received today,
Makes me yearn to be with you
And walk in your perfect way.

We are still together.
As spirits, we can be one
Through Heavenly Father's power
And His begotten Son.

I love you, our dear prophet.
Though miles away you may be,
We will live to be your people,
In perfect Unity.

My Prayer

Father, please help me see your way
And with my heart and soul obey,
That I may have the strength to say:
"Father, Thy will be done."

Through tests and trials, help me stand strong
For with your help it won't seem long
Before the earth is cleansed from sin and wrong.

All through this life, help me be sure
My heart and hands are clean and pure
That I may dwell with Thee forever more.
This is my prayer, dear God, my Lord.

My Father, My Friend

My Father is my greatest friend
I love Him very much.
I hear him say "I love you"
And feel his special touch.
The love we share is a special gift
We keep within our hearts,
Sharing it from day to day
We're never fare apart.
Whether he is here beside me
Or miles away on the darkest sea,
We are still together.
Him and me!

A Mother's Hands

A mother's hands are loving.
A mother's hands are sweet.
A mother's hands are ruff,
But gentle from so much work complete.
A mother's hands have meaning to all those she has cared,
And even those she hasn't can see the load she bared.
A mother's life has dreams.
A mother's life has meaning.
Because the name of mother,
Means love from the beginning.

Friendship

Some people say that friendship is fun
Others say it is pleasure.
But I say that friendship is a very
Special gift that keeps us close together.
Friendship might be a thing to some
That can be discarded at anytime.
But I think if there were no friends in the
World there wouldn't be any ryme.
Friendship is a joy of the deapest measure
Which never stops growing inside
And a special friend is always there
To cast your fears aside.

Prayer

Prayer is a yearing exertion
A prayer for the prophet each day,
Will lead us up to heaven
And bless us along our way.
Whisper a prayer each moment,
no matter where you go
So when life's road is rugged,
You'll succeed and fight the foe.
Each can pray for the prophet
To help to lighten his load,
That we may dwell with him
In Zion's blest abode.
