"The Pathway’s Choice"

The Word descended, clothed in mortal frame,

Layers of heaven's touch he did attain.

All power crowned from heav'n and earthly plain,

Through Him we walk to the Father, the same.

Law binds creation, order’s vast domain.

Truth unshaken, past and future as one.

Light flows eternal, brighter than the sun.

Receive His light, no shadow shall remain.

Truth and light will rise to celestial height.

Were born to obtain that celestial throne.

Fullness of the Father awaits it's shown,

When we are made His own in our own right.

It's plainly manifest, the pathways choice.

Through light and truth to gain your divine voice.

 "Divine Strength Training (DST)"

So sacred is the word the Lord has given,
To strengthen body, mind, and soul in light,
That wisdom’s seeds within the heart take flight,
And health is crowned by truth from heaven driven. 

A law to point the faithful toward the way,
Not meant as some mere diet’s fleeting scheme, 
But guiding signs to guard the soul’s pure dream, 
And mark what’s right from wrong without delay. 

In prayer I sought and found its voice agree,
That consecration lifts both hand and heart, 
A call to live, not rent a passing part, 
But join the work in love’s full unity. 

For those who keep this word in faith and cheer,
Shall walk with God, and feel His presence near.

"A Spiritual Command"

So sacred a command the Lord
Gives strength to the body toward
more spiritual might and wisdom
better enhance your immune system.

A basic law to point the way
not designed a diet plan you'd say
Instructions to guide you to choose
What's good and bad, sort of like cues.

Diligently seeking to be,
With a prayer I found it to agree.
A consecrated lively member 
not just be a simple renter.

 "Eyes to See, Faith to Walk"

Behold God's script inscribed across the skies,
His knowledge rides the ocean's endless roar.
Each wave reflects a wisdom on the shore,
The world revolves where sacred rhythms rise.

For this door waits for a knock to open.
He awaits for us on the other side.
Open it to the upward path, full stride.
With your answers that might come unspoken.

Let your eyes be single to God's glory.
Open your eyes that you'd be clean in all.
Keep both eyes open, careful to not fall.
Prepare your eyes to read every story.

So knock with faith, and let your vision grow,
Then walk the path His light will bid you go.

 Sonnet of the Harvest

    "I. The Silent Vineyard"

The Lord shares, with all—His symbols foretold.
For in his region and the same season,
With stalks and thorns living with all reason,
With angels quick for the reaping when told.

In the vineyard spoke none—a silent hush.
Some seeds were sown by one whose heart was dire.
For smoky winds dampened out holy fire.
No lampstand to take its place in a rush.

The Lord calls His workers—no longer blocked.
Out of the stubble, oaths made strong again.
The Lord reclaims His own to live and reign.
Roots now watered where prophets once had walked.

Though sown with trials, still the field is wide,
The meek shall reap what heaven will decide.

   "II. The Gathering"

Each lawful heir is marked—by heaven's ink.
A lineage that forms with vessels chosen.
Rings of promise worn on land and ocean.
Bring a blessing for all with eyes that blink.

The upcoming gathering—final stage.
Are we to be found gathered with the weeds,
Are blown away with the chaff in the reeds,
Or gathered with wheat, no matter your age.

The sickle swings beneath a steady hand.
The Master scans each soul with perfect view.
No robe nor mask will hide what’s just and true.
The breath of mercy sweeps across the land.

Choose now your root, your soil, your place to grow,
Before the winds decide which way you’ll go.

"Bound by Promise, Led by Light"

It's a rod of power from Aaron's hand
It brings a lesser light that cleanses the soul.
A doorway to the path that makes us whole.
This lamp shows path but not the sun that stands.

Higher order calls down celestial fire.
The hand that seals the mysteries of light.
Ladder of earth's light to eternal life.
To ready those before their time grows dire.

For God’s sworn promise binds us to fulfill,
Through cleansing fire, His faithful hearts are sworn;
By hands divine the newborn souls are borne,
With hope to honor truth and do God's will.

Let truth be guide where mortal shadows fall,
Till Christ’s pure light redeems and crowns us all.

Poem - "His Power and Authority"

God's power on earth is for each.
Through his ordinances he'll preach.
God's mystery is manifest.
By this authority you're blessed.

God has his covenant and oath.
He asks us to receive them both.
We promise to magnify all,
living by his word is the call.

Repent and remember the word
Given by prophets, til it's heard.
Don't neglect Mormon's word to read
Then share it with all those who need.
