A Life in Verse

In a faraway place, where horses run wild

Lived a beautiful girl, with the heart of a child

She grew up right, always saying her prayers

So to go on a mission

And save Germans from snares

But then she came home

And off to college she went

Where she dated each day

And her time was well spent

In biking, in baking, in climbing on ropes

And  through it all, she had highest hopes

Of a wonderful man, so handsome and strong

That would come to her rescue

She couldn’t be wrong

For she was in Provo

A BYU student

To not get married? Well that wouldn’t be prudent.

Well that “one day” did come

And with it her prince

He asked her to marry, and she was convinced

So off they struck, on their newest adventure

To love and to cherish

Whatever the venture

They laughed and they played

Oh their life was a breeze

Then they started a family

A new life if you please

Along came a son so handsome and cute

But they must admit, there were trials to boot

Diapers, and crying plus the sleep they were craving

If they were observed, you’d think they were raving

But they passed through the trials

And with that new life

Came laughter, and giggles, and a beautiful wife

Oh before she was gorgeous and wonderful too

But now as a mother, these words just won’t do

This daughter of God, now a parent become

Was never more fit for an eternal kingdom

Her family loved her and her Father did too

Because as a mother, there are very few

Who love, and devote all their life so completely

For this and much else I love her so deeply

So now who knows what the future may hold

But with her by my side, it’s a sight to behold.
