The Beauty of Life


The sun in the sky, the birds in the tress,

all of these things God created for me.

He showed me His plan in the premortal life

and said all the beauty can offset the strife.

All the creations denote He is there

We can not see him but surely he cares.

Into this world of sorrow and sin

each child was born, their life to begin.

Each of us came to learn how to grow

to make our decisions, through choice we would show

our commitment to follow his marvelous plan

to make it back to him as each of us can.

We can not know joy without feeling pain

the flowers, they grow because of the rain.

So now as I fight and stumble and cry

I remember he asks that only I try,

to keep my sights set on the glory above

to see the earth's beauty and know that he loves.
