SONNET NO 20 MY CELESTIAL GOAL.


When I came to earth to dwell in my earthly state
I made a promise to my God that I would do my best
To be a good example, to be the very best I could
To find the truth to guide me home to my eternal rest.
I learned of God's eternal plan that could lead me
Safely home. A plan that would take all my strength,
All my time and talents too, be obedient and kind.
A plan that if I followed in the strait and narrow way
That I would live for ever and my eternal joy find.
When I made my covenants with my ever loving God
A memory flickered of my premortal life, that promise
That I made before I came to earth, could now be realized.
I will try each day I live to strive for the celestial height
That can be mine,if I labour all my life, with all my might.
