The Poetry In Me

Poetry is something that I have always loved to write.  I have found solace in the words that flow from my hand onto paper.  It is something that lets me express how I am feeling about what is going on around me.  I have written many poems and even turned one into a song about my mother.  I have always admired poets and the way the can form emotion with words.  I hope one day to be able to do that with what I write.  It is amazing sometimes where each poem comes from: some are from a feeling, some are from an experience, some are from a memory.  I am so grateful to be able to have this talent to express how I feel.  
   The other day I was at the Temple with a friend who was getting their endowments it was amazing.  I went outside after and took photos of the spire of the temple with the angel sitting  atop.  What an amazing sight to see.  I could not believe that I got the honor of performing ordinances inside this beautiful building.  I was amazed at how blessed I was to be a member of the LDS church.  I was amazed to know that I will have my daughters with me not just in this life but, in the next.  When I got home that night I had the overwhelming desire to write and write I did.  I wrote another poem that I love.  I would like to share that poem now.
