| Contributed by: Wylene O'Barr, Concho, AZ OBARR@cybertrails.comHi! I have an idea and poem to share can be
used either for new beginnings or evening of excellence.
Heavenly Father has all the
richness of the world as for as you might count gold, silver and jewels. He does not need
these things from us, we do not need to seek them . We need to seek those things which in
Heaven are important. Those things are the implementation of the values in our lives.
Along with the poem we will
be making a "crown" for each girl and will ask the Bishop to place it on each
girls head. (I am in a branch and we have less than 10 girls). The "crown" is a
wreath of flowers in the values colors with ribbon streamers in the back also in the value
colors. The girls can then take them home and hang them on the wall or mirror to remind
them of their worth and their goal in this life.
THE CROWN YOU
EARN
By Wylene O'Barr
Listen child
and I will tell, of a life that you once knew well
Of a Father‘s love you see, He taught and nurtured you at his knee.
This Father that loves you so well, is King of Heaven, and now I must tell.
You are a Princess, of great worth; you are one of Royal Birth.
He knows your
worth and whom you are, that you will succeed, and go far.
He taught you to love, and be kind, have dignity, use your mind.
All the things that you must know, for one day you would surely go.
To earth to live, it is the plan, to grow and live as mortal man.
With coming
to earth, forgetting was part, only in mind, not in heart.
Some day you’ll return, and receive the reward that you have earned.
One day a crown you will wear, for a princess, in deed, you are there.
The crown you wear reflects your worth, of what you gained while on this earth.
Your crown
won’t be of gold, silver, or jewels. These are precious only to fools.
Your crowns worth comes from the heart, so learning these qualities you must start.
FAITH you see, precious by far, that a "Daughter of God" you truly are,
DIVINE NATURE, if you please, for you inherited divine qualities.
With your own
mission you came to earth, so realize your INDIVIDUAL WORTH
Continually seek to grow and learn, for KNOWLEDGE is the right way to turn.
One thing to learn and have courage to do, is make right choices and carry them through,
You’re given freedom of CHOICE you see, but with it came ACCOUNTABILITY
Father
taught, "take care of your brother", GOOD WORKS, we call, serving each other,
Now INTEGRITY is a precious might, having the courage to do what is right,
With patience, study and prayer, you will see the rewards of eternity there.
Take pride in your worth, do not settle for less, always try and do your best.
These values
are wonderful tools, for in heaven THEY are the jewels
So to Father you will return, with all the things you have learned
On your head, for all to see, with great pride and majesty
Goes the crown you will wear, its worth is truly beyond compare.
And your loving Heavenly Father will place it there.
Personal Progress
