Faith does not leave in a loud way,
slamming doors,
and causing a commotion.
Poetry inspired by being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The mist of darkness
came up suddenly.
It came from an unlikely source
which caught me by surprise.
Remember the wise men
who traveled so far
to worship the King
by following the star?
We know very little,
not where they came,
how long they traveled,
or even their names.
We call them wise
but what makes them so?
Why call them magi
and that’s all we know.
We know this much
they chose to travel far
when everyone else
must have also seen the star.
How long they waited
and hoped for the sign?
We know they were ready
when the star shined.
Let me be that wise
to recognize the light
that leads to the King
in this darkened night.

It makes my heart slow
to see you suffering so.
I have traveled that road
and carried a similar load.
As I traveled down the road
The same ole scenery passed by.
Weeds, rocks, and of course, garbage –
Nothing beautiful caught my eye.
I pray:
I did my best
To pass the test
With every beat in my chest
I could not rest
But I did fall,
I did fall.
My grandma always said,
“I’ve got two feet on the ground,
“I can do anything anyone can do.”
She barely stood five feet
though she claimed five-two.
