So I was cleaning out my church bag tonight, while getting ready for my lesson tomorrow. I found a poem I had written during sacrament meeting, when what someone said while giving a talk, had touched me. I think it's kinda fitting for the world today and shares a little bit of my testimony.
Peace
In times of worldly turmoil, on every side I see;
distress and chaos and sorrow, from sea to shining sea.
How than as we look around us, peace nowhere to be found;
can we now refind the solace, that once was all around.
In days of sin and darkness, where hope seems to be lost;
how grateful I am for my Savior, his life and his ultimate cost.
For in the shadow of darkness, there glows a shimmering light;
a beacon through troubled waters, to guide me through the night.
I gather my loved ones about me, trying to shelter from sorrow and sin;
yet unlike days of old, not all are bold, their free agency won't let me in.
I gather the light around me, searching for peace once more;
accepting the peace and sweet release, of the one who has gone before.

Beautiful words from a beautiful lady. They are so powerful they set my goosebumps a going and the hairs on my neck stood up. I agree they are fitting words for today and for everyone. ^_^
