The Tutor

"The Call and the Tutor’s Visits"

Upon the call, bewildered and unsure,
A youth received a guide from realms on high.
The Tutor came with wisdom to supply,
His wisdom vast, to strengthen and assure.

The cup of knowledge filled beyond its brim,
Each lesson brought a challenge to surmount.
Could mortal hands bear such a vast account?
With faith, he listened to the tutor’s hymn.

He learned of books, with sacred text concealed,
A task divine to bring the truth to light.
Yet warned of peril, should he stray from right,
This knowledge was a treasure not to yield.

To keep his charge, his heart must firmly stand,
For Heaven’s voice would echo through the land.

"Preparation and the Great Work"

For years the Tutor shaped his heart and mind,
To banish doubt and ready him for grace.
With steady hand, he'd soon his fears displace,
The work ordained by God’s own will aligned.

The book foretold, of ancient lore so grand,
Would need his gift to translate every word.
Repeated warnings, always to be heard,
A charge from Heaven’s law, a firm command.

No thought of gold should lead his soul astray,
For if he faltered, Heaven's wrath would burn.
Through trial's fire, his soul began to turn,
Prepared at last, to walk the chosen way.

With sacred text, the work at last could start,
A triumph born from faith within his heart.

The Tutor   (poem originally made on 2020-03-21)

After the Call, now what to do.
God sent him the Tutor who knew.
Over many a visits he had with him.
His cup of knowledge spilled over the rim.

I can't imagine all things that he learnt
Great expectations that might over exert.
How could he ever do this thing.
Can you see or hear what he did bring?

The tutor talked of a book to read
With help of translation he would need.
A warning of destruction to be heeded,
Five times repeated for it was needed.

Cautioned he was, this book was made of gold.
he never was to let go or brake the hold.
Nor should he consider it to be sold. 
If he did then God would come down and scold.

The tutor trained him 4 more years.
So he could clear out all his fears.
Now he had it then the work could begin.
Translating this book was truly a great win. 

Question of Faith and Answer Divine

 "The Question of Faith"

The young boy Joseph, stuck in life’s deep trench,

Upon the mourners' bench, in sorrow dwelt,

He pondered long on how his soul had felt,

His sins, a weight that caused his soul to clench.

He sought to know if he was good or not,
Which church to join, with many in the fray,
These thoughts consumed his heart, and thus he prayed,
The darkness came, but still he faltered not.

A swollen tongue, he could not voice his plea,
Until a light burst forth in radiant glow,
A voice that called his name and bade him know,
"Behold, my Son! Listen to Him," said He.

"Do you have further questions you must ask?"
"Yes, which church fulfills the sacred task?"

"The Answer Divine"

"No church as yet has met the holy mark,
Though some draw near, none stand without defect,
In time, the truth will come and all reflect,
Till then, stand firm and patient in the dark."

A heavenly glow filled Joseph’s heart anew,
The vision clear, as heaven's messengers left,
He stood, with faith, no longer lost or bereft,
He knew the Lord had answered, pure and true.

He shared his tale with those who'd hear his voice,
Yet met with scorn, with doubt, and disbelief,
Some mocked in jest, while others shared his grief,
But steadfast stood, his heart made the right choice.

"I knew my prayer was answered from on high,
God spoke to me, and truth could not deny."


Previous Poem 2021-01-10 JS History 1:1-26

The young boy Joseph felt stuck in a trench,
Sitting upon the mourners bench.
Wanting to know his eternal state,
For his sins caused him to shake.
To know His will if he's good or not,
Which Church to join cause there's alot.
With these thoughts he took and prayed
Appeared the dark force but Joseph stayed.
With swollen tongue unable to talk.
A bright light appeared nock, nock.
Called my name and signaled his Son.
Listen to him cause he gets things done.
Do you have any further questions to ask?
Yes I can't decide which Church fills the task.
None at this time had any prospect,
Some came close but never a good suspect.
Wait patiently for more is to come.
Soon all truth will fill the earth and start to hum.
Now filled to the brim with a heavenly glow.
The vision closed as they left to go.
I knew that God came and answered my prayer.
I couldn't deny it for that was a huge affair.
I told many with varied reactions 
Responses that caused actions.

 "Hearken to His Word"

An opening statement by the Lord Himself,
With this divine introduction, He declares,
A guide for all, both humble souls and heirs,
Identifying grace and holy wealth.

Hearken, all hearts, and ears long closed, afar,
To heed His word and seal your soul's desire,
A mission clear, distinct, and rising higher,
His will be done, our destiny His star.

In stubborn pride, we spurn His truth revealed,
Our focus lost, His guidance fades away,
Distracted from the path that leads His way,
Yet still, He calls, His love remains unsealed.

No sin can He abide, no heart so grim,
But all who seek His mercy, find it in Him.

Lord's Proclamation

Hearken all hearts and ears unheard,
To the Lord and obey his word.
Distinct and peculiar mission.
Seal your eternal condition.

With a rebellious refusal
You'll not enjoy what is truthful.
Distracted from our path to God.
Our main focus in him is flawed.

Lord's arm revealed against idols.
Some metal stone or clay from Bible.
Now it can be anything goes.
Is God found in your belly or nose?

The Lord can't abide any sin.
So don't keep it bottled deep within.
Repent of bad things from the past.
But his love will forgive if asked.

His Power and Authority

 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.

Gospel Whole and Nothing But

 Gospel Whole and Nothing But

The Gospel received whole is good.

Partial means that you never could.

God's plan says marriage is a must.

Forbidding it really's not just.

How to know it comes from above.

By Spirit of Truth gave thereof.

Expect to find righteous response

Unclean praying won't get what it wants.

That which is not ordained of God.

Defeated by joining his squad.

Prepared as much to know I Am.

Hear and see him is not a scam. 

The Binding

The Binding

Don't count the cost, just go and do.

Consistent in your work, be true.

His covenants and truths are not

Treated lightly nor speak of naught.

Christ is the law and reflects him.

Teach His gospel with every limb.

Received with Spirit and holdfast.

The Ten are key now as in past.

No matter if it's God or spouse.

Love both with all your heart, no doubts.

With strength, honor and affection.

Leads both in a good direction.

We bind ourselves in holiness.

To be true in all righteousness.

A true prophet called from on high.

The spirit tells if he's a spy.
