THOUGHTS OVERFLOWING
Have you ever had a head too full of poem ideas?
So full of stories, of sweet laughter and sad tears,
Full of spiritual moments, full of thoughts so true,
Full of messages of caring that I want to share with you.

Stop and think, are you the person you really want to be?
Are you kind and good enough to share all eternity
With God in heaven, a prayer forever in your heart?
Or are you the wrong kind of person playing your part?

I asked myself this question to help sort out my mind,
Then this thought came flowing and then I did find,
A way to find the better me, the one I really want to be
Yes, I can make myself, with His help, for God be worth.

If I live for others every day, and the commandments keep,
Attend the temple often, and be willing to feed His sheep,
Put spiritual lenses in my eyes so that in all the things I see
God’s hand and purpose in this world’s great grace and beauty.

Think along the lines that we don’t normally ever think about,
You see I am not a human being having a joyous spiritual bout,
As a spiritual child of God with a human frame to use each day
So I can plan and endure and grow and heavenward bound stay.

My mind races with thoughts so I may learn and gradually grow,
Until my path is trod and work completed so home I may go,
Home to that heaven where I hope they will know my name,
For I have the knowledge, if I fail I’ll hang my head in shame.

I hope I may apply aright the knowledge that to me is given,
It will be my own fault if I don’t make it to God’s heaven,
May my thoughts flow that maybe others may then feel
That the promises made with God and man are forever real.
