The following a poem is for my Doctrine and Covenants class. It is a creative project that is based on sections 121 and 122 of D&C. I did it on these sections because they have some of the sweetest words of comfort. Words that have been something that I have been able to draw strength from during hard times.
Please bare with me since I am not the most brilliant poem writer.
O God, Where Art Thou?
Trials, hardship, betrayals, doubt, pity, fear, sorrow, despair
How much am I to go through
How much am I to endure
Lord canst thou deliver me from these bonds
Canst thou come from thy hiding place and lay a blanket of comfort over me
Use thy anger against those who have done me wrong
Remember me, please O God, remember me
Peace, peace, peace I feel
Words I hear saying "peace be unto thy soul"
Could this really be just a small moment
Will I able to endure it well
Will I able to sustain this feeling
Has God remembered me after all
How can I know for sure
But I do know, I have known all along
The Savior, my Lord, my God
He who has descended below them all
He who knows and has Atoned for me
He who has a perfect knowledge of things
The one and only Begotten of the Father
He is there, he knows, he remembers
Peace, joy, jubilation, love, gratitude, charity, strength, faith
What more could I feel
What more could I say
Though I may be cast into the deep
Though the jaws of hell may gape open its mouth wide after me
I shall be free
O God, Thou Art Here
