Callings and Poetry

it's currently 7:22 and i just got done with a training meeting for the Relief Society teachers in my ward. it really strengthened my testimony to see each of these girls and talk to them a little about teaching. i wanted to write a poem about my feelings lately so i decided taht instead of writing it on paper, i would just start it on here and see how it goes. if anyone even reads blogs anymore, i'm sorry that all you ever get from me is corny sentimental poetry. k it's 7:24 and i'm beginning

a fact seems like fiction, and i can't quite see
just how you will make this great person from me.
I watch each small change that you make in others
how you turn life's painting from gray to colors

but because I'm me, i can see each new flaw
i can't comprehend someday being a god.
you ask me to do things and i try my best
just hoping and praying, you'll fill in the rest

but then i get down when i see others soar
i just want to see all that you have in store
i know i'm not perfect; i don't give my all
i sometimes procrastinate, and often stall

like how in the world can i make a diff'rence
i trust that i can 'cause you've made that inf'rence
i'll give it my best because that's all i've got
i'll turn life to thee--every act, every thought

i'll try to become who you'll trust with your work
i'm learning slowly how to stand and not shirk
i'll be who you call when you're needing someone
so someday you'll say, "my daughter, well done"


...7:36. wow 12 mins....i just went through and edited it so that it is in one of those rhythm things. each line has 11 syllables except for the last one is only 10 on purpose. it's in almost a 3 rhythm it goes "duh DUH duh duh DUH duh duh DUH duh duh DUH" i know no one really cares about beats in poetry anymore, but i do. it makes it flow and more meaningful. anyways that is my thoughts on serving in the church <3
