Hope
Means trusting that when you plant an acorn
You’ll grow an oak;
That seeds of faith, given place in a tender heart
Take root and bloom in baptism, temple ordinances,
missionary service;
That from morning prayer and scripture study,
Grow spiritual strength and divine protection;
That in spite of the mists of darkness (real and
spiritual)
The iron rod will always lead to the Tree of Life.
Certainly there’s the understanding that
Thorns exist among our rosebushes,
And there are spring hailstorms and sometimes stony earth
to plant in;
But thru thorns and hail and rocks and darkness
There is also God -
Who in His wisdom allows us to experience
The wonder of growing things for ourselves.
