Three simple words can
change all of your life
That once filled up
with doubt, the space no more
Subsides but words I read
upon thin leaf
Release fears of my adolescence,
for
Lies my hope in
something more or someone
Who answers questions
of my heart and writes:
“I know that if ye
shall follow the son.”
This simple phrase,
discovered, floods insights
Into my aching soul
the pain does run
Out. Change your
heart, your mind, your life, your soul
He asks all- for no other
conclusion
Results in total joy
or makes you whole.
Three simple words
have changed my life today.
The Son’s the answer
so let come what may.2 Nephi 31:13 and Joseph B Worthlin's talk "Come What May, And Love It," October 2008
I love that this isn't the three words we automatically think of when we hear "three words" I like that you used the spirit's lesson to you to write on.
ReplyDeleteI could tell that your sonnet is very heartfelt. You meant what you were writing and that gives it an air of authenticity. I appreciated that very much. It's hard to be authentic when sticking to form (at least for me), but I think you nailed it.

ReplyDeleteI really like the subject that you chose to write on. That's a great talk and you can feel the change it brings as you read the poem. There are some places where I'm not sure if the poem is exactly iambic, or where the flow seems a bit interrupted.
ReplyDeleteIn line 11, the iambic pentameter is off. But I enjoyed the message of the poem.
ReplyDeleteI loved the message. This was really cool and it was an awesome way to take an assignment and add a ton of personal meaning to it. Great job!
