Aspirant to Amour
31 July 2006

Her beauty was a night
her day a dream
This open window
for love to out stream

Found and found out
the light of a distant wind
For here was a foundation
that cement to pour upon hope

As if the control was beyond redemption
then where was the redeeming one
That light so shining
as if the universe was one moon

Heaven and hope
destiny and unity
The touch of a hand
words aspirant through love


“Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they
not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this
world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one
lesson— That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected
with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be
controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.”
Doctrine and Covenants 121: 34-36
