New

Here is a new poem for your new year!

Waking up to a new day,

Brand new things to hear and say,

New things to learn, new things to do,

Brand new sorrows, and new joys too.

New gifts to give, new hope to find,

New chances to serve or just be kind,

New friends to make, new blessings to count,

New gospel messages to shout.

New treasures to find, new things to create,

New chances we have, to truly be great.

New changes and skills new people to love,

New inspiration will come from above.

All these new things we have this new year,

A change to start over, so erase your fear,

Step forward with hope, and faith and a prayer,

There's always a way that God is willing to share.

This new year I hope we all can step out of our comfort zones to be awesome as do something great. Remember you age, size, or looks don't matter. You are a child of God and you can do the impossible.

December 26th

What happens after Christmas

When everyone's asleep?

The day has come, and it has gone.

Now silent, not a peep.

With rush and a woop!

Christmas came, and it went.

It's all over and done.

Gifts bought and gifts sent.

We spend months anticipating

December 25th,

Only to find its followed

By December 26th!

Now what? We ask ourselves.

Do we just wait around

Waiting for the next Christmas

To again be found?

What about the Feelings

Of joy and love and peace?

We worked much to hard

For it to go to waste!

No, I believe that spirit

Of Christmas can still stay!

As long as we give love

It's with us everyday.

Yes-it must be Christmas

Merry Christmas hohoho,

Don't ask me where is the snow,

Wrap up the presents don't you know,

Yes-it must be Christmas

I can hear- bells are ringing,

I'm in the choirs that are singing,

From the cold my fingers tingling,

Yes-it must be Christmas

Get a blanket, cuddle up,

Sip hot chocolate from this cup,

Of candy I have had enough,

Yes-it must be Christmas,

The snow is falling white and clean,

The children sit on fathers knee,

While stories are told of the birth of a King,

Yes-it must be Christmas

Mary and Joseph with their baby king,

Angles told Shepard's to make tidings ring,

3 wise men follow the star-gifts they bring,

Yes-it must be Christmas

She laid him wrapped in swaddling clothes,

I wonder "Mary did you know?"

Did you remember as Jesus grows?

Yes-it must be Chistmas

We should remember this Christmas season,

The reason for, this special season,

As even if it's odd or even,

I do believe it's Christmas :)

What was it like?

What was it like

To come to the earth 

As Savior and King 

Of infinite worth?

What was it like

To leave the divine

Arrive in a stable

Near horses and swine?

What was it like

To leave power behind

And come in the form

Of one helpless and blind?

What was it like

To leave resplendence

And come to a place

Full of hate and offense?

What was it like

To become so small

Yet have purpose so big

And descend below all?

What was it like

Dear Lord, God's own son?

Why did you do it?

What was the reason?

If you look in the eyes

Of the baby so fair

If you find Him through faith

You'll see what is there.

The answer is simple.

He came down from above

For this small, yet big word

 His infinite LOVE.

Being Sick :P

My head hurts my back aches,

My nose is running everywhere!

My eyes sting, my ears ring,

I'm late and I don't really care,

My feet are cold, my head is hot,

My throat feels worse then anything,

My cough is horse, I cannot breath!

I can't talk, let alone sing!!

Swallowing hurts really bad,

My hair is tangled up in knots,

No position is comfortable,

Not being sick? It really rocks!

My bed is awful, so is the couch,

I don't want to watch a movie,

Don't make me talk or yell or shout!

Music doesn't help me feel groovy,

When will I feel how I used to feel?

When will this horrible stuff go away?

When will my throat go back to normal,

The only comfort now, is to pray. 

Hope in the Haze

The world is full of grief and pain

Full of seen and unseen chains.

People walk in clouds of doubt

Not knowing what life is about.

So much worry, too much stress.

Many walk around depressed.

Tears keep falling like the rain,

It seems like all our hope is vein.

We all have questions, we all ask,

Why is life such a hard task?

Let me give it to you strait.

Yes, life is full of ugly hate.

But without dark, there is no light.

There is no win without a fight.

There  is no joy without the pain

There is no pure without the stain.

There is no faith without the fear.

There's no true smiles without tears.

Yes, we have those gloomy days,

But remember in the haze,

When life seems to go all wrong,

Keep the faith, and come out strong!

Sing, sing, sing!

I know a lot of you have heard this :D It is actually a song, but songs can be read as poems-right? I hope you enjoy it!!

There's a song in this world,

Listen now and you'll hear,

A song that's being sung,

Full of smiles and tears!

For we all have a part to play,
So bring bring bring!
Bring everyone to do their part,
Let's sing, sing, sing, sing!

There are many different lines,

Being sung by others,

Try to find your part,

Next to sisters and brothers.

For we all have a part to play,
So bring bring bring!
Bring everyone to do their part,
Let's sing, sing, sing, sing!

Remember no one is perfect,

We might mess up some times,

Repent and forget get back in tune,

And keep on singing your lines.

Everybody now! Sing it out loud!

Your part is a important,

As everyone else,

So open up! Sing it now!!

Don't forget to sing sing sing!

While your at it, bring bring bring,

Everyone! To sing! Sing! Sing!.

For we all have a part to play,
So bring bring bring!
Bring everyone to do their part,
Let's sing, sing, sing, sing!

Some sing high,

And some sing low,

It doesn't really matter,

Just sing as you go!

For we all have a part to play,
So bring bring bring!
Bring everyone to do their part,
Let's sing, sing, sing, sing!

Don't let the good parts

Leave your song,

Let the spirit guide,

And sing along!

For we all have a part to play,
So bring bring bring!
Bring everyone to do their part,
Let's sing, sing, sing, sing!

For a Friend

I just wanted to thank my amazing friend Dassia for the example and friend she's been to me. Her rasillience and love for the gospel can't help but touch the lives of everyone she meets. :)

Colorful, shining, happy friend.

I've never heard her once offend.

Good example, always kind.

Friends like these are hard to find.

Her potential, fully living.

Super sweet and always giving.

Humble servant of the Lord.

Dear to all, frankly adored.

Seeking truth and doing right.

A beacon of the brightest light.

A loving heart, a smiling face

A being of God's cleansing grace.

An open mind and willing hands.

Accomplishing the Lords commands.

Beautiful friend, I want you to

Know that I, a friend, love you!
