*Prayer*

I let my eyes drift upwards

To the heavens that they seek

I wonder if I pray now

To my Father that I weep

It feels so cold inside of me

Like an icy, hollow cube

But don’t betray my outside

Which is quite warm with solitude

I lift my shaking hands

And fold them across my chest

I bow my head in prayer

And wonder what is next?

How do I speak to my Father?

Like a boy to a silhouette face?

Or perhaps with great respect,

Of the highest payment to make

“Oh Father, My Lord, in heaven

I thank thee of this day

For giving me rich blessings

And a family for me to stay

I hear you watch over me

With a fatherly look of kind

I hear that you help guide me

Through my troubles of demise

I know you are our Father

One of the greatest men we seek

I see your outstretched hand

Held out for the weak

The light illuminating off you

Gives me the strength of three

That I may have the courage

To follow after thee

To carry out thy mission

Is an honor I cannot describe

To be loved by you, Heavenly Father

Is a love that electrifies

My soul bows before you

In all your heavenly praise

For you are my Father

The center of my ways

I ask only one favor

Or a question to be asked

For protection of my family

Is the only thing at task

I hold them dear to me, Father

And do not wish to let go

For as long as I am holding

They’ll stay sacred like the grove

I will try to keep thy commandments

And be the best I can be

In hope, my Heavenly Father

That you will only see

For I am your humble servant

Who will serve thee until the end

I will try to fill your commands

To one’s final demand

I seek thy glowing presence

In these Latter Days

I sing for all thy kindness

That Heavenly Mother portrays

For you are my role model

That I would follow till the end

Until I start anew

In a world of my command”

I let my arms drop down

To feel the salty tears

To wipe away all

Of my childish fears

I don’t feel so cold anymore

Like a man without a coat

The inside is like the outside now

Warm with Devotion’s hope

I can see you smiling now

Warming my very heart

You stand before me now

With your glory still a part

I smile like a child

Innocent to the core

For all my troubles are gone

Gone away before the Lord

I see Christ beside you

Perfect in every way

He is smiling also

Like a man about to pray

I see the love in your eyes

Like a glowing flame

You love all your children

In so many ways

You love us all so much

That you gave us your begotten son

So whoever will believe in him

Will not perish in the run

 Jesus loves us too

 For he is my brother

Who sacrificed himself for us

So that we may return tomorrow

You let us experience pain

Misery, happiness, over again

So that we may follow your path

Back to the world where heaven is at

You’re fading away from me now

From the view of my naked eye

But I can still feel your presence here

A strengthening warmth that fills my heart

Many hands are on my shoulders

From my former brothers

Adam, Jacob, and Abraham

Are not the only ones I encounter

They all fade away from me

Each with a smile in turn

I am comforted to know now

That so many were concerned

Always in my heart are they

Who comforted me on that single day

For I have been given the strength to stay

And guide the Lord’s children another day

“Father in heaven, I pray to thee

For the others who are just like me

To know there is someone above

Who will love thee like a father does”

I look back out my window

That is full of watery spray

To the sunshine shining

Beautiful, golden rays

I hear the angels coming

Praising their Father above

I hear the angels singing

Of their Heavenly love

Their golden trumpets shining

Releasing harmony and love

Feel the warmth radiating

I watch the flying, white dive

I know my church is true by now

And what comfort it brings and how

For I have witnessed on a few accounts

The love, thy Lord, truly gives out
