Poem of Friends

Lost in the darkness

Although never knowing light

Their souls silently searching

Never willing to give up this fight

Jason & Eric:

These two with smiling faces

Traveling aimlessly

Without cause, though all the phases

Still not concisely aware

Of their soul’s urgent plea

What life has to bring ‘em?

They would just have to wait and see

Now in high school

They’ve made it this far

Are now searching

For who they really are

Then one night

Unexpectedly

A girl gave Eric a glimpse

Of what he might turn out to be

Promises of eternal happiness,

Of ward families, new friends;

All of these blessings

Seeming never to come to an end

His heart beated a lil’ faster

His mind flung open like a door

Was this finally it?

The thing he had been waiting for?

A girl gave him a special book

A couple months later

It was filled to the brim with stuff he

wanted to live by,

Examples set by The Maker

Still carrying a translating book

Jason never truly felt included

Some things his teachers said

Still continued to elude him

Then he met a group of guys

Who were excepting of everyone

How he hoped they’d all be friends

Always there for each other in the long run

He started going to their early morning

classes

Never regretting the missed sleep

And he found out so much more than

That their friendship ran deep

Jason & Eric

These two with smiling faces

Finally finding their purpose

With new friend’s embraces

The girl from that one night

And the group of boys from school

Had them talk to some of their friends

Only 20 & 21? ... Yeah they were pretty cool

Accepting all that was taught

They set up a date

December 10, 2011

It felt like their fate

Going every Sunday

They never ceased learning

Continually feeling

A great fire burning

And this is where we stop

Although the end is nowhere near

For Jason & Eric have learned

Whosoever belongeth to His church, need not fear
