Why?
Why is there so much hate everywhere,
why is the world so filled with despair?
Children abused with many that die,
there’s pain in my heart, tears in my eyes.
A small little puppy that only sought love
tossed cruelly to die from a cliff above.
Is this what we want the world to see,
how cruel and heartless we all can be?
At times the pain in my heart is so deep
that all I can do is fall down and weep.
I want to know why, and when it will end,
I want to feel peace and safe once again.
I want to awake to the sun’s morning rays
and know I will have a beautiful day.
To know my children will all be alright,
and no one will ever again fear the night.
Doctrine & Covenants 68:5-6
Behold, this is the promise of the Lord unto you, O ye my servants.
“Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am
with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me,
even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was,
that I am, and that I am to come.”
