The One

This young man has written poetry for years, and rarely, and by rarely I mean NEVER, does he share it!  It's more of an outlet for him than anything,, Then I got this from his friend that's a girl, shouldn't have girlfriends when you're on your mission, haha, and it brought tears to my eyes.  His testimony is so strong, and solid.

The One

I should start off by saying, "thank you for this day"
I didn't think I would ever be headed this way
Knocking on doors and doing Thy will
Addicted to the Spirit, as if it's a pill

Reading the Bible, and Book of Mormon too,
You'll find that He knows you, better than you.
He knows what you're doing,
and what's in your heart.
Remember who you are, and what you stand for,
Healing the sick,
And helping the poor.

Just as Jesus did,
While He was on earth
It's now our calling
and has been since birth.

We strive to be like Him,
Our Savior and friend
By loving all, like He loves us,
A love without end.

It's not always easy,
I'll be the first to admit.
There are times in my life,
I just want to quit.

But I try to remember
That if Jesus was like me,
He wouldn't have suffered,
In Gethsemane

That's why He was chosen,
to be THE ONE.
He is perfect and loving,
Not once did He shun.

He made and He loves,
every single being
that swims or flies in the blue
and walks on the green.


Although you will never be,
You gotta try your best
To be completely perfect,
And not a thing less.

You can only be clean,
if you go and repent.
But if you do that,
it has to be meant.

When you repent
and make the right choices,
By being baptized
and raising your voices

Against evil and murmurings,
Through His holy name,
You'll feel His love and the Spirit,
with the might of a flame

Satan will attack
or at least he will try
To bring you down
when your spirit is high

Just stay true to your faith,
and God will protect you
And come unto Christ,
Whose grace will surround you

God so love the world,
He gave His brightest Sun
We will fell the imprints all
One by one

Remember who you are,
For you are a child of God
You will always be safe
Just hold to the rod.
