“A Prophet Born This Day”

Can you hear the Angels singing

cheering for this simple birth

between Vermont/New Hampshire

into a family of love and values

nurtured in strength to do right

able to withstand great pain

as a child to deal with disease

later as an adult persecuted

tarred and feathered too

shot at and harassed always

death threats and bounties

but he was a true Prophet

called to restore the Kingdom

which most all pray daily for

‘Thy Kingdom Come…”

knowing the Kingdom first

then the second coming

yet as in the day of Christ

so to today all is denied

Prophets martyred always

even the Savior crucified

no different now than then

living Prophets can’t be

heavens are closed to all

no more revelations at all

sadly and most surety today

the need never greater

but as was Joseph Smith

so to today Thomas Monson

hated, denied, threatened

but whether one wants or not

a Prophet born this day 1805

called while still a child

cheered by the all of us

hearing the Angels singing!
