Summer Adventure-4/05

The smell of sweet, wet, fresh cut grass was running through the air as we run down the street towards the park. Dark stained wood, strong off white nylon rope, and the cool metal handles await every child arriving. A line longer than a giraffe’s neck lay behind the glider. There are [...]

Fear-10/06

Fear is growing in my heart
Constantly I try to push it out
 
Alone I push, struggling all the way
Trying so hard, and seaming to fail
 
Suddenly I feel hands with mine
They seam to push harder than I
 
Fear slowly leaves, love fills my heart
My Savior’s hands, with mine, keep fear far away

A Child Went Forth-2/06

A child went forth day by day
Smiling at all she saw
One day some friends came
Unloading all their problems
The child’s shoulders weighted down
Heavy with problems she could not fix
Yet still the child went forth day by day
Smiling at all she sawHiding behind a mask
No one looking into her eyes
The child went forth day by day
Smiling at [...]

A Hard Decision-6/05

As the rod is there in front of me
Why is the decision so hard
Do I choose the world with all vanities
Or do I choose the narrow path
I know what is true, why can’t I move
Taking a step towards the rod
Looking back all the glories of the world
Why is the decision so hard
Do I choose vain [...]

A Child’s Dream-9/05

A child dreams of being a princess
A princess wishes to be just a child
The two meet and switch places
Enjoying the life their eyes were opened to
How wonderful it would be to
Let children choose where
They would be born
Oh wait, we do choose
We will all be Queens and Kings
If we live worthily

Running Away-4/06

The river is high tonight. How am I supposed to cross? The Sheriff pulls up and walks over and offers to take me to jail, or, I can go with my parents, who just now pulled up. Promising we will be moving soon, I slide in the back seat and dad starts [...]

Pain vs. Joy-9/05

 
Father I kneel here in prayer
Pain deep in my heart
I have never felt such intense pain before
The cause of the pain I know
Deep in my heart and soul
Steps taken down once more
The wrong path I stand
Can I turn around
The narrow path I do not see
Take the pain I pray of Thee
Where is the path I [...]

My Father is Here-4/05

As a child I know,
My Father is here,
To guide and to love me,
All the way home.
As a teen I see,
My Father is here,
To encourage and comfort,
Me, all the way home.
As an adult I cry,
My Father is here,
To hold and to heal,
Me, all the way home.
As a mother I here,
My Father is here,
To strengthen and teach,
Me, [...]

So Many Times-6/07

There are so many times
You want to chase away all the fear.
Becoming discouraged
Feeling like you failed
By not helping everyone
Can you look at my heart
See how you’ve helped me
Your hand in mine
Chasing way all my fears
Helping me grow each day
There are so many times
You want to take way all the pain
Becoming discouraged
Feeling like you failed
By not [...]

A Testimonies Growth-5/05

O, Lord, My God
How questions rack my brain
Your scriptures say
“Ask and it shall be given unto you”
Lord, how do I know
Thou art true, that
Thou art really there
My child, do thou feel piece
Do thou feel loved
Do thou, my child, see miracles
Lord How can I believe
Joseph Smith is your Prophet
Called to restore your church
My child do you [...]
