An Eternal Fire
08 July 2006

May my love be for you
in kindness of thoughts
For what was real, what was true
This in a battle of conscience
made openly regarding you

May this love
grow with time
Of that day God will decide
if two will gather in mind

Might happiness be every dream
this tomorrow, with all yesterdays gone
The future on the shiny side of the moon
and hearts brought close to rejoice
May my love for you be everything to desire
this love, this happiness, the flame of an eternal fire

“From eternity to eternity he is the same, and his years never fail.
Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory. Yea, even
the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I
show them, even the things of many generations. For they are vessels
of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his
angels in eternity; These are they who receive not of his fulness in the
eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the
terrestrial; These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.”
Doctrine and Covenants 76: 4, 6, 8, 33, 86, 105

I like the passion that frames your beliefs -- and I like the graphics work that you did for this poem too.

I liked that a lot, and I'm not usually one for religious topics, but that was a really nice poem.

I would just note that although the presentation has a scripture quote, that does not necessarily mean the poem is of a religious topic.

thanks for you kind comments, or is it my quotes that are frightening others from pip, from reading and commenting on my writing?

because the intention of the footnote or quote, is to provide a form of enhancement, and not to deter others from reading and comprehending the outcome of the poem
