"Amid the Darkened Sky"

 
“Our Heavenly Father, who gives us so much to delight in, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were—better than we were, more understanding than we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before.” President Thomas S. Monson – (The Prophet of the Lord on this earth this day.) October 6, 2013
 

 
“Amid the Darkened Sky”

Heavy the silence within
billowing clouds without
hollowing the winds felt
while darkness seen only
lending to the tribulations
dealing with the adversary
just as we partake of joy
when the sun is shinning
fresh breezes finding love
swaying between the two
life is to be alive inside
mortal testing to experience
molding us into the better
someday maybe Celestial
amid the darkened sky
our choices will be made!
