A Little Poem for Missionaries Everywhere

Written by yours truly <3

When you embrace the light 

It's a glorious feeling to know

The life you live is better 

And immediately begins to show 

You want to do the best you can

You want to live the truth 

In this you find your happiness 

And live it in your youth 

The day is nigh, when you shall hear

The whisper of His call

An invitation to do His work

Be strong, choose right, walk tall. 

With cheerfulness you'll answer,

Exclaim "Of course I'll come!

I will work to serve your children

Until my body's numb!"

In this He will delight 

And bless you oh so great

Especially because He knows

The struggling that awaits

Once you decide to go 

And you decide to make the climb

Expect the Devils company

In record breaking time

he will test your goodness

he might even break your heart

And with everything he has and knows, 

Start taring you apart

That serpent that would take your life

If was given the choice 

Finds joy in your discouragement 

In your sorrow, he'll rejoice

Soon you'll feel not good enough

You might even feel alone

Your testimony might shake a little 

You may be guilty prone 

Why is it right when you begin to feel

The surety of this trip,

Does all this opposition come

And make you lose your grip?

To answer this question simply

The bad is always there

As surely as the good moves forward

The devil sets his snares

But on the other side

Lies the Winner of it all

Trust the One who's victory

Will always catch your fall

Know that He is always there

Have faith to move ahead

As surely as you take each step 

Each one is divinely led

Press onward missionary

Especially when times get rough

Don't ever let the devil tell you 

You are not good enough
