“He Was/Is a Prophet”
(Joseph Smith, Jr.)

Born this day in 1805
as a small child to grow
curious to religion
reading the Holy Bible
finding questions
none able to answer
told to ask of the Father
directed by those about
reading James 1:5-6
going to the woods
offering up his 1st prayer
the heavens opened
a vision seen/heard
the Father and the Son
as Prophets of old called
thus was Joseph too
into a world of disbelief
like the Prophets of old
hated, despised, murdered
never-the-less a Prophet
called of the Father/Son
restoring their gospel
once again to this earth
this last dispensation
into the fullness of times
as a small child
born this day in 1805!
