This was based on comments I received in an email, so in truth they are not as much my own words,
as an arrangement of words said to describe as I was seen and understood to be as a person

She said "I Do"

29 June 2005


Of those words
she said "I do"
I like you very much
and of this was true

You always out-do yourself
and of this she sent a reply
When this was a happening
to read over in tears of joy cry

"Thank you" because
you are so kind
You have the gentlest heart
warmest personality
and sweetest touch in mind

Through words that
I have ever known
For all the wonderful poems and
correspondence you share unto me
As to tomorrow in kinship
in "your feelings devoted to thee"


"And thou shalt continue in calling upon God in my name, and
writing the things which shall be given thee by the Comforter, and
expounding all scriptures unto the church. And it shall be given thee
in the very moment what thou shalt speak and write, and they shall
hear it, or I will send unto them a cursing instead of a blessing. For
thou shalt devote all thy service in Zion; and in this thou shalt have
strength. Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but
endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days."
Doctrine and Covenants 24: 5-8
