I wanted to put something on a little more lively and up beat today so I thought I'd write a poem.
I hope that you'll enjoy!

For me it's been a while
You use the real elbow grease
Now that's the western style
Some people think it's best to use a backhoe when you can
They say the diggin' sure goes quicker
It won't make a farmers tan
That's more like a city slicker
It doesn't help to build a man
When you sit and pull a lever
And hold on for forever
That the ground begins to move and shake
It really starts to tear
Now you pull it out and make it clean
Next you put a post in there
When the job is done
and you've tamped the post
You start to feel the burning in your shoulder
But then you notice what hurts most
It's not your muscles on your back
Or the back of your right arm
You look down and see the blister
You earned that one day on the farm
In life we make the choices that we do. They don't always come with roses and cherries, sometimes it's just a nasty old blister! Now some time passes and the blister is all healed. Just like the blister healing with time, we have bad experiences in life that get better with time and a healing element called the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
