Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a mighty army.
A mighty army of great strength and courage.
A more impressive army the world has never seen.
They, with the mental and moral strength to
Persevere brought about many miracles.
They had trust and love in their Superiors,
Obedience without question.
They were diligent in all things commanded them.

The cry of “Never, never, never give up” filled
Their ranks.
When the path became steeper
One step at a time they did push onward.
They did strive to meet their goal.

Fear and uncertainty are replaced by our most
Powerful source of courage.
They doubt not, they fear not,
They face the Foe head on.
The promise that their Lord will not fail
Then fills their view.

Once upon a time promises something.
Great adventure, true love, sorrow, pain and overcoming.
Once upon a time promises adversity.
Once upon a time promises a happily ever after.

This mighty army is that of strong, valiant,
Virtuous young women.
Sent forth at this time to stand in righteousness
Next to our worthy priesthood holders.

We are elect ladies.
Literally royal daughters
Born to be queens.

Look into the mirror of eternity.
See yourself as your Father sees you.
Deep beauty comes through emulating Christ.
Deep beauty shines from the inside out.
Deep beauty is the only beauty that matters.
The only beauty that lasts.

We, the elect women of the Lord must
Never, never, never give up.
We go through trials and adversity
Because it is said opposition in all things.
We can choose to become stronger and
Experience joy through that great all-knowing
Teacher – Affliction
We must not only endure it but endure it well.
We can find rest in the Lord.

We, the rising generation must look with
Faith down the straight and narrow.

We will find our Happily Ever After
By reaching our Eternal Goal.

Fade to Black

Slowly the colors mix.
Once clear lines begin to soften,
Becoming unfocused. 

That's how the days pass,
Always looking forward to the future,
Never reveling in the present.
Leaving the past un-lived.

Bleeding colors going neutral.
No longer distinct.
Any lines have disappeared completely...

And then our days are gone.
Enveloped in that darkness we
Create for ourselves.

Life Is

Life is Experience

Life is a time for us to learn and grow.
After all, we are "Gods in Embryo".
We go through so much because of what
Life is but through Him we can Overcome.
Through Him we can Become.
Life is given to us by Their love.

Life Eternal

Embers

The Embers of my heart smolder softly
That Flame that once was now diminished
But the Embers remain.
The Embers of great feeling.

Somehow that flame was lit so quickly.
The fuel to the fire burned out so fast.
But the Embers remain.
The Embers of my love.

If new Fuel, better fuel, were to be added...
Would that great Flame come to life again?
Licking away the Edges
Turning them into Ash Dust.
Yet unable to eat away the Core.

Still only the Embers remain.

The intensity of Glowing heat flickering across my heart.

Double Edged Sword

A Knight with his trusted sword roams the land.
So fine, So solid, So impressive.
Accurately and gracefully the weapon and Its Master
Melt into one.
One will, One purpose, One power.
They become united, majestic and strong with the
Ability to protect or destroy.

Beautiful, gentle, and fragile, waits a bud just
About to Bloom.
Naive and trusting this fair Maiden
Lives simply knowing nothing more.

Perchance they meet and grow attached, realizing
There is much more to life than they thought before.
Her beauty shines forth in full bloom.
His face glowing with great pride in this Treasure
He has found.
Everyone can see their love.

They last in Joy for an untold time.
But, as all good things are, it was too good to be true.
What they had comes undone and flies away on
Vicious wings.
Broken hearted and torn apart they are no longer one
But two separate souls ripped to pieces.

Soon enough the Knight has found another sweet
Maid to give his heart.

The poor withered Maiden, forgotten, watches the
New happy couple and experiences even more
Pain than she had before
She is stabbed through her already
Broken and Bleeding heart with that
Same sword that once protected her.

Thrown away

This is always how it goes....
You make me happy.
You make me feel loved.
You make me feel wanted.
And then you drop me like a rock.
Is it that you get bored with me?
Is it that I'm just not what you thought you wanted?
As soon as you find something better you're gone.
As soon as you get what you wanted you're gone.

It makes me wonder if they realize...
If they realize that drastic harm brought upon me.
Upon my self-esteem.
My views of self-worth.
Everyone does it...
Boys, friends, everyone.
I guess I'm just meant to feel
Thrown away

Voices

(Writers note: All words striked through are over emphasized harshly, all words italicized are said with a false convincing and deceiving tone, all words striked through and italicized are sickly sweet with underlying harsh tones)

Gall... They're so annoying.
All of them... All those other
People. Why do they always try
To control you? Try to tell you
What to do? Is there something
Wrong with them, or is there
Something wrong with you?

Is there something wrong with
You?

You'll do what you want when
You want. At least that's what you
Try to tell yourself. But you
Know that's not true. You'll do
Anything to avoid conflict.
Anything to make others
Happy. You're WEAK!

Seriously, is there something
Wrong with you?

You think you're so high and
Mighty, but you're not. It's
Just so easy for you to make
Mistakes. You're so easy
To break!

There's gotta be something
Wrong with you!

There's so much wrong with
You, you don't even know!
 But I guess it's OK because
Somehow people STILL manage to
Love you. Remember those
Same people can't be trusted.
There's no way to Prove
Them. So you're pretty much gonna
Be hurt no matter what you
Do. You might as well
Learn to get over it. Or better
Yet, turn from them. Turn to me.
Turn to us.
Protect yourself. It'll work,
We promise. You can always 
Trust us, I know you better
Than anyone else does. We know
You better. I know
What's best for you. We know
What's best for you. I promise.

Good girl, good girl. Remember, I am
The only one you can trust.
We are the only ones you can trust.

Do you know?

Do you know you make my heart jump?
Do you know you make my mind race?
Do you know you make my stomach do flips?
You make me smile so big I fear my
Face'll stick like that.
But that's OK because they say a girl is
Always prettiest when she smiles.

Do you know I was expecting you to say you couldn't come?
Do you know I was expecting a conversation like the one that happened that night?
Do you know I lost respect for not only you but myself as well?
I tried to convince myself you were different because
I wanted you to be.
But you are just like all the others.

I want to believe in you again.
You say you want to prove to me you're worth it,
You want it...
Well start proving.
Help me regain that respect for you.
Please bring back that New Crush Feeling

Cher Vous,
Mon Amour ce jour-ci j'écris à vous tout les vœux les plus profonds de mon coeur.
Je ne sais pas comment exprimer dans les mots combien je me soucie profondément .
Mais j'essaierai et vous aiderai à voir votre grande valeur et
Le sens dans ma vie.

Vous êtes l'as de coeurs et vous avez capturé le mien.
Le fait de penser à vous fait mon coeur faire quelques méchants mouvements de gymnaste,
Je ne saurais pas même comment commencer à appeler.
Vous avez attrapé mon attention
Vous avez tourné ma tête.
Vous êtes les seuls que je veux par mon côté.

Ma vie a été changée maintenant que vous y êtes entrés.
Vous me faites vouloir être quelqu'un noble de votre amour et
Je l'aime.
Vous me faites mieux.

Nous sommes la paire parfaite.
Le match parfait.
Avez-vous entendu des amis intimes ?
Bien j'ai trouvé le mien.

Avec tout nous avons été par, vous avez été mon soutien, mon ancre.
Vous m'aimez pour que je suis et n'ai jamais essayé de me changer.
Toutes mes idiosyncrasies sont attrayantes dans vos yeux.

Mon désir le plus profond consiste en ce que vous serez toujours les miens.
Je vous celui ai donnés qui est le plus précieux avant tout,
Mon vrai amour, mon coeur, mon affection éternelle et soin.
Et avant tout je vous ai donnés quelqu'un qui ira faire
Soyez toujours là.
Qui vous soutiendra dans tout que vous faites.
Je vous suis consacré de chaque façon simple.
L'amour est la seule façon de décrire le sentiment que j'ai pour vous
Mais même qui n'est pas assez.

Amour,
Moi

P.S. Saint-Valentin Heureuse :)

Dear You,
My Love this day I write to you all the deepest wishes of my heart.
I do not know how to express in words how much I deeply care.
But I will try and help you see your great worth and
Meaning in my life.

You are the ace of hearts and you have captured mine.
Thinking of you makes my heart do some wicked gymnast moves,
I wouldn't even know how to begin to name.
You have caught my attention
You have turned my head.
You are the only one I want by my side.

My life has been changed now that you've entered it.
You make me want to be someone worthy of your love and
I love it.
You make me better.

We are  the perfect pair.
The perfect match.
Have you heard of soulmates?
Well I found mine.

With all we've been through, you've been my support, my anchor.
You love me for who I am and never tried to change me.
All my idiosyncrasies are attractive in your eyes.

My deepest wish is that you will always be mine.
I have given you that which is most precious above all,
My true love, my heart, my undying affection and care.
And most of all I have given you someone who will
Always be there.
Who will support you in everything you do.
I am devoted to you in every single way.
Love is the only way to describe the feeling I have for you
But even that is not enough.

Love,
Me

P.S. Happy Valentine's day :)
