MEETING ONE OF MY ELDERS
It’s over forty three years since you came into my life,
Brought the light of the gospel and freed me from strife,
Gave the truth to guide me, the right path to ever tread
Set me at the Master’s table to be forever spiritually fed.
I often wonder if the missionaries ever really know
What great a gift they on their converts do bestow,
The joy and growth the gift that’s forever bright
And how many are influenced by that special light.
Now you have a wife and your own sweet family,
People I will be close to and love through all eternity,
Seeing the joy you have and the gift you gave to me
Seems to bind us together and lets my heart fly free.
Thank you for serving a mission and teaching well
So I could accept the light and truth of the gospel,
One day you may appreciate that gift that I love,
And we will know each other in heaven above.
