Time

Tomorrow is a whisper
Quiet thoughts only you hear
Mysteries of the unknown beckon
To a listening ear.

Yesterday has come and gone
Her fragrance lingering near
Memories of days gone by
That are with us still

Today will become the story
That's written in your destiny
Don't let time pass too quickly
Make moments that become history.

I'm guest posting over at Everyday Reading

April Flowers

The little April flower
That blooms with all it's might
Stays with us for a season
Then disappears out of sight.

But that little April flower
Remains with us all year round
It's bulb is firmly planted
Deep in the earthen ground.

The bulb is our reminder
That the April flower will come again
When the cycle of life returns
After Winter's cold has come to an end.

That little April flower
Finds it's way back home
And once again it blooms
Reassuring us that we're not alone.

Self Reflection

I've been thinking about my life lately and how I want to better myself. We live in a world where there is so much garbage attacking us from the outside that it's hard to focus on what's on the inside. 

I came across this counsel from President Thomas S. Monson (read full conference talk here) that really spoke to me.

1. Fill your mind with truth;
2. Fill your heart with love;
3. Fill your life with service. 

This is how I want to live my life.  As I reflect on where my life is right now, I know I have a lot of work to do to turn it into the life I want to live.

Bring it on!
