Creative Writing: Holiness Unto the Lord

Temple

The House of the Lord

A warm flame burns inside me

When I think of those pioneers

Who built on faith and determination

My Ancestors

Temple

The House of the Lord

A place of peace and rest

Of gratitude and grace

Of safety and love

Temple

The House of the Lord

The purity of the white color

The holy silence

Temple

The House of the Lord

None can fathom

A Lord who created the galaxies

I call Him Father

Temple

The House of the Lord

Saving ordinances

That conquers Sin and Death

Temple

The House of the Lord

Holiness unto the Lord

Creative Writing: Wonderful Winter

Glistening, White Snow Sparkling in the Sun

Sweet Scent of Pine Fills the Air

Ice Crunching Beneath My Boots

Leaving Divots in the Snow

Clod Crisp Breeze on the back of My Neck

Cool Winter Air in My Face

The Peacefulness of Winter

Creative Writing: The Man in the Rain

He stands on the old ladder

High in the air

His torn, red flannel shirt

Soaked from the pounding rain

Hammer in hand

Ready to strike the stubborn nail

The rain pelting him

Beating down like angry hawks

Makes the ladder slick

He wipes his brow

And swings again

The hammer comes crashing down onto the nail.

Finally, it gives up and dives into the shingle

His family watches anxiously from the house below

Through the bay window he built

Thankful the leak is fixed
