Christmas is....

Christmas is a time for love,
A time for goodness from above,
A time for family and for Friends,
A time for all our heads to bend,

A time for Christ and Christmas trees,
A time for all to bow to there knees,
A time for peace, a time for JOY,
A time for Marys Baby Boy,

And so give thanks for Christmas day,
And for the Baby, in the hay.

Science makes life more enjoyable

This was written by our friend Mo,

Take some clay, play, play, play,
Soon you'll have a great display.

Make a cool triangular shape,
which may look like a chocolate cake.

Careful! Its not chocolate so don't eat it like it is.
Instead add some red, and please don't go back to bed.

It may make you tired, but I promise its not that hard.
Don't wait to make it great, for you may be to late.

Quick! Add some baking soda and vinegar to your colorful red.
This is what happens when you decide not to go back to bed.

After adding these things and listening to me,
look carefully and see what it will be.

Seconds pass by, then from the corner of your eye, you spy,
a great show with a huge volcano and soon you know you want some play dough.

You discover a new talent a scientific brain and you get so excited you dance in the rain.

For life's so important, and I hope you now see, YOUR making life more enjoyable for you and for me.

The Silence in Space

"The sun, the moon, and all the stars,
The earth, the comets and also mars!
The big bright beautiful space,
The wonder and excitement it makes!

Everything is always turning,
Everything is always whirring,
Everything is always burning,
Everything takes so much learning!

All the planets all since birth,
Mercury and Venus and then Earth,
Mars, and then Jupiter, and then Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, its all a pattern,

My Very Excellent Mother,(whose excellent indeed)
Just Served Us nachos(when Pluto was here we weren't in need)...
Of pizza cheese,
And bread sticks please!

They all are made of different things,
They all are round and some have rings,
They all are named after a god,
...or then at least vicea versea, :)

When people talk about space,
Like they have seen the earths face,
I don't know how they get it strait,
Was Venus made of gas? Or the moon?
(You know that one?!
Jk I know it too :))

Some constellations,
Make-up the population,
Of the Earth,
Once again, all since birth

I like to think of planets,
Just sitting in the Blackness,
Of shooting stars,
That don't make scars,

Of things they can become,
Of things they can become,

Sometimes I just am so amazed I sit in silent space,
My mind is turning through the stars a planet it makes,
Space is silent siting there,
The milky way is not so bare,

The universe!
Right from the first,
Its big and bright and amazing!
It makes no such thing as paraphrasing!

Its there! something you can depend on,
But not! Its wide and big and like a song,
Its truly one of Gods creations,
Its like a big wonderful Illustration!

I sit and think all these thinks,
And what A lot of thinks methinks
As I sit with a wondrous face,
As I sit in silent Space."

Give! For it's Christmas after all.

Around this time of year,

Christmas is getting near.

Cheeks are rosy,

The fire is cozy

And in the air there is Christmas cheer.

Outside there is sparkling snow.

And people are happy we know

For hopefully Christmas cheer

And reminders of Christ so dear

In all hearts we do bestow.

We get our coats and all bundle up

And get our hot chocolate cup.

Our noses are red 

As we sled and we sled

Until we have to stop.

In the wintery wonderland

We each take a hand

And go for a walk

As we laugh and we talk

And everyone's feeling just grand.

Oh the smell of gingerbread! 

We get frosting of white, green and red,

We decorate with a smile

And stay there for quite a while

'Till we all must go to bed. 

We sleep with good dreams 

Until the morning

And of course we hop right out!

We can't conceal the excitement

And we scream and we shout!

It's Christmas, its Christmas, hooray!

It's christmas this very day!

But do you know what?

It's not about gifts! But,

It's about the Boy in the hay.

In-fact it really doesn't matter you see,

If you have but one present under the tree.

For it's CHRISTmas! So do

What Christ does for you

Every day for you and me,

Which is give give give and give some more

And don't think of the presents you get from the store

But give like the Savior in all His galore.

And maybe give a little more to the poor.

Wish others a Merry Christmas!

Don't envy or covet the gifts!

Don't whine or make a fuss!

But maybe give someone a lift!

Be like the Savior the Baby boy

Receive gladly your toy,

And please don't annoy,

For I know GIVING will GIVE you MUCH joy!

For christmas is a splendid time of year,

So think of the star that did appear.

Follow that star, and become more like Him.

The One who went through all thick and thin.

It will give joy to all

The tall and the small.

GIVE! For it's CHRISTmas after all!

True Hero.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the world knew you
As a person who was star of the show?
Wouldn't it be nice if all people called you
A super man or super hero?

Wouldn't be nice if all the whole world
Looked up to you as a person of strength?
Wouldn't it be nice if people saw you
A a person of richness and very high rank?

You could be famous!
Famous and rich!
If you were a star,
With a nice fancy car!

A movie star with glamour, and plenty a toy,
You could have mansions and bliss
People could freak out with screams of joy
Just if you blew them a kiss.

Or maybe you don't want quite that much,
Maybe you just want to be cool
And sit with the popular kids at lunch
So people will like you at school.

All these things you could imagine with longing to know
What it is like to be Hero
But what is the true meaning of a Hero?
Maybe maybe its different then what you think you know.

Maybe a Hero means a little bit more
Maybe it means not that people adore
All that you are because of glamour
Or popularity and coolness galore

I think if you want to become a  true Hero
Here is a few things you might want to know:

I think your goal should be something else
Not coolness or richness if hotness or wealth!
How about love and arising to shine?
Or getting the precepts line upon line?

Wouldn't it be nice if all who were sad
Looked to you as person to rely on
Wouldn't it be nice if all who had troubles
Came to you to have comfort and sun?

Wouldn't it be better if you prayed to God
To see how you could help others?
Wouldn't it it be more good to know that you
Would know how to not tease your brothers?

When all around you there is fighting and madness,
You could be patent meeting madness with gladness.
You could be the one to change the world
Just by simple way of attitude!

Guys like the hulk aren't what you have to be
To be a hero as you can see
Even people like a wonderful Mom
Have been heros to many all a long.

Look around! Heros are everywhere!
Even if they aren't super man
And even if they don't fly anywhere
Or save peoples lives or have fans,

Yet little by little, they can save lives
By doing what they can
And cheering up! They shine and arise!
For their beliefs they stand.

They can bring others out of misery.
And help others so they can to
Live happily and eternally
Is that not a hero to you?

Every good deed is heroic and great
Every smile can save
A person from feeling a frown or hate.
A lot of times you have to be brave.

Smiling or acting nice can be hard in some ways
Especially when your feeling down.
But say to yourself "I'm a Hero today"
You'll save others and you from a frown!

So be a true hero and be yourself, sweet.
Truly heroic you can be.
Along the way other Heros you'll meet.
They will help you and me
To be a Hero who helps others to be
A Hero themselves! Yesserie!
Is that not heroic indeed?

Ask Heavenly Father how to be a Hero today
And how to help others along the way
Heros helping heros to help others to be
A hero like you and me.
How is the best way you say?
To help others along through the day?
Show by example just how heroic that we
Can be by living righteously.

Yes live righteously and you'll see
That many we can save and free.
They might come along you see,
And want to be like you and me!

They can become a hero
Because of you and me!
Is that not heroic indeed?

So be a hero and save the world
Be a tool in the hand of the Lord.
Many we can save,
Be a hero and be brave!

Miracles of America.

Heres a poem I made for vanguard:

Lehi knew there was a land.
Promised and free it would stand.
Nephi and Sam were righteous and good.
Lamen and Lemuel never really understood.

God commanded Nephi
To build a boat for Lehi
So he could take his family
To the great America free.

They built that boat with righteous hands
It was hard, but they got to the promised land.
Their accounts of them and their kin are in
A book called the Book of Mormon.

Is that not a miracle?

Then in 1492
Columbus sailed the ocean blue!
He took some people in his ships
Oh how he hoped and bit his lips.
Columbus wished and rubbed his hands.
Oh how he wanted to get to that land.

He thought he knew another way
To get to india in less days,
But those days turned into weeks
And the people were getting weak.

They were getting tired, so tired in fact,
That kill him they would if land they lacked!
Columbus prayed, oh how he prayed!
He knew only Gods help would save the day.

He waited and worried and worried and waited,
To see the land he anticipated,
Land ho land ho! Land ho land ho!
Thanks unto God! For he did bestow,
This land of hope and promise we know.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was the Men Raised Up
Who were inspired and much tip-top
And with the Revaluation and all,
We needed them so we wouldn't fall.

The  Declaration of Independence I'm sure
Could not have the least bit long endured,
With out those men and without our God.
Nothing could happen without God!

"Success of the Declaration and the war
Was a miracle from our Father In heaven I'm sure!"
Said those Men raised Up
Who were much tip-top.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was the Inspired documents
The constitution caused many laments
  But Franklin said
“If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice,
 is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? 
 I believe without His concurring aid
 we shall succeed in this political building
 no better than the building 
 of Babel.”

 So they all went home and prayed
They prayed for Heavenly Father's aid.

And I think they got what they did need
And that Heavenly Father did Help and did lead
And Inspired those men in such a way
For we have that Constitution up to this day.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was a dark and sad apostasy,
But there was a boy named Joseph Smith, you see?
He was a truth seeker and sought a church that was true
He read a scripture then knew what to do
He wanted his questions understood,
So he went deep deep into the wood.

Satan tempted to make him fear
But Christ and His Father appeared
And restored the gospel unto him.
For it, mobs feathered him limb to limb.
And the saints endured from day to day
And a book was translated to show them the way.
The Book Of Mormon it was called
And Joseph himself knew it all
couldn't have been done without God.

Is that not a miracle?

Because of this gospel that was restored
By the utmost power of the Lord,
We can follow the teaching within it
And the righteous and free path will be lit.

Us In our day must follow that way
Us, Yes me and you, us TODAY
Must follow that pathway and surely Stay
On that path to true freedom, Don't throw it away,
Yes what a wonderful chance,
Don't throw it away!

Family is the basic unit
Of a strong society,
We have a family and must use it
Oh so very wisely.

We are all a part of one family
Our Father expects things of you and me
He wants us to help build a zion home.
He doesn't want others to feel alone.

He wants us to build strong family units
On this beautiful promised land
You have Common sense! Now tune it!
Don't worry God gives you his hand.

America is great because she is good
And if America ceases to be good,
America will cease to be great!
Please don't become full of hate.
For righteousness is the only gate,
For the USA to be great

For over 4,000 years this country has been
A place for promise and has been chosen
As a place of freedom for the Lords purposes
Its destined for financial resources.

The Lord is making an Investment in you
So you and I must get up and DO.
The Lord expects performance you see
And a good one at that,  so please

Take this journey of freedom with me.
The conscience of America we will be!
God will help us in this quest to be free
And through His miracles and His mercy,
We can fulfill our great responsibility.

We can be part of a miracle!

Wide, wonder, world.

Big, beautiful, blue,
Terrific, trustable, true,
Lovely, light, land,
Bright, busy, band,

Amazing, art, and,
Glorious, grateful, grand,
Helpful, holy, hooray!
Talented, tell, today!

Wonderful, well, wise,
Yummy, yes, yise,
Friendly, faithful, flag,
Nice, neat, no nag,

This is what earth used to be,
Why can't it be really free?
Why oh why can't it go back? 
I know exactly what it lacks.

I cant wait till Christ comes here,
I can't wait to have him neer,
When the lion lies down with the lamb,
Etarnal forever with my fam.
