My Testimony:

My testimony is dear to me,

I’ve shared it with a few.

Though words won’t do it justice,

this poem will have to do.

 

I know my Father in Heaven.

I speak with Him each day.

He knows my hopes and dreams,

because He listens when I pray.

 

I know my Lord and Savior,

of His sacrifice for me.

He’s been a true example,

of how my life should be.

 

I believe in the atonement.

Of this I can’t be swayed.

I’ve used it often in my life.

Thanks to Him my dept is paid.

 

I am grateful for the scriptures.

I know them to be true.

Because of Joseph Smith,

they were restored to me and you.

 

I sustain our living Prophet.

An inspired Man of God.

His words will keep me always,

planted in the gospel sod.

 

I’m grateful for my family.

Bound only by our love.

Some day we WILL be sealed,

for all eternity above.

 

I know this Church is true.

I found this out myself.

By searching through a book,

that I had upon my shelf.

 

I had read the book before.

And I wavered in the past.

But through my trial of faith,

I found the truth at last.

 

And now I live my life,

being all that I can be.

Though I struggle all the time,

I know He’s here with me.

 

I can hear the spirit.

He whispers softly so,

to guide me in my journey.

Telling me which way to go.

 

I’ll strive to share His word,

with my neighbor and my friend.

Knowing that I will be thanked,

when this life comes to an end.

 

So I leave this testimony,

with hope that deep within,

you felt the spirit burning.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 

 

Doors:

Living life inside a hall,

With doors lined up along each wall.

Each door shut tight. Their paths unknown,

Afraid of failure, I wait here alone.

I pray for help. Please make my choice,

And in my heart I hear His voice.

Pick any door, each on is right,

Just keep with you, my guiding light.

I knock on each then pray once more,

Rise to my feet. There's just one door.

Reach out my hand and use His key,

I'll show you my child, there's so much to see.

A leap of faith and then I step in.

It's all up to me. Just let life begin.

 

 

No Title:

I believe in all I am,

And all that I can be.

In everything I love,

Even things I can no see.

 

I believe not in regret,

At least I do my best,

To remember just what's good,

And repent of all the rest.

 

I know I'm not alone,

Though a hole inside my heart.

He's with me all the way,

And he's borne the greater part.

 

I see the picture big,

And I know my view's still small.

I pray for strength to shine,

And rise above it all.

 

To journey through this life,

And be with those I love.

So we can plan our future,

As eternal souls above.
