The Most Important Knowledge
By Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
There’s so much knowledge in the world
On which to feast and dine
So many ways that truth is hurled
Toward my open mind
Yet, the most important truth
That we can understand
Comes by learning in our youth
To obey the Lord’s command
The feasting that is best, to me
The most important dish
Is the word the Lord gives us for free
Feeding thousands with two fish
For the teachings of Lord Jesus
Though simple and so small
Are packed with truth and goodness
That can feed and strengthen all.

We all need a friend - by Appreciable
We all need a friend
By Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
Sometimes we all feel lonely
Those are common tears to cry
We feel that we care only
That we sit and sadly sigh
The spirit's a gift the Savior sent
When he ascended to dwell above
This gift he left when life was spent
Can make a place in hearts for love
The gift of the Holy Ghost
Can fill our heart with peace
This Comforter can help the most
To make our heartache cease
God's love can dry our tears
No matter why we've cried
The Spirit calms our fears
Warming hearts up, from inside
Sometimes, we feel that we're alone
When friends are hard to find
Some leave our God, who they have known
And depart from peace of mind
The tragedy of this dark path
Is very hard to bear
They lose the peace the Spirit hath
For he can't follow there
Our constant friend in life
The one who dwells inside
Must abandon them to strife
As their commitment died
Oh, let us keep this one true friend
And walk with God each day
For, we'll go home at this life's end
If we endure and pray
If we want to conquer sadness
Finding peace in every hour
Let's receive this gift with gladness
And be filled with love and power.

The hearts of the children - by Appreciable
The hearts of the children
by Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
I thank my parents for the words of love and truth
That became my building blocks in youth
From these foundations continue to rise
A structure of goodness to reach to the skies
These precious materials I try to share
With each of my children with great effort and care
We are building Eternity every day
With each act that we do and each word that we say
I'm so thankful for all those who have gone on before
Those who taught their children how to love and adore
Their kind words re-play daily in our home still
And down through the ages their love we can feel.

A Correct Comprehension of Ourselves - by Appreciable
A Correct Comprehension of Ourselves
By Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
If there's a God in heaven
If there's a plan for me
I know that I must find them
If my purpose I would see
Unless I know why I am here
Upon this troubled earth
I'll never know the reason
My soul has wondrous worth
If there's a great creator,
Why did he send me here?
What's the purpose of my life?
To conquer doubt and fear?
What will happen after death?
Why did we come to be?
Will I just stop existing?
Or come back as a tree?
What's the greatest future,
That I can hope to reach?
Are they only fiction?
These words the prophets teach?
The answers to these questions
Are difficult to find
I look but cannot find them
Recorded in my mind
The mind alone can't find them
These answers that I need
I need something to verify
These words I'm asked to read
The theories of the scientist
Can't explain mortality
These theories can't be proved
With facts my eyes can see
I need a message straight from God
That speaks straight to my heart
Where no one else has access
With all their cunning art
The Holy Ghost alone can teach
The truths that God will share
And God will guide me straight to him
With tender loving care.

Standing in Line
Standing in Line
By Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
I'm going through this Life
Just the same as anyone
Avoiding pain and strife
And looking for some fun
A friend of mine, stood in a line
And I walked over there
The company was so divine
I stayed, without a care
The years flew by as we progressed
Not making any plans
We thought we'd find some peace and rest
But left with empty hands
For, when we'd reached the very end
We found, as others had
We'd been distracted by a friend
We didn’t see the line was bad
Please question the direction
The line is headed in
To make a good connection
That the prize we all may win
Do we want the things this line will give?
Or will we later grieve.
Let’s ask ourselves, while we yet live
“Is there more I can receive?”
The moral of this story
Is there for us to see
If we want to find God's glory
We must ask God where to be.

Humorous Singing
Hello again,
I just wanted to share something with you that made me smile recently.
"Give, said the little stream" must be one of the most universally misunderstood songs in the world.
Instead of saying "Give said the little STREAM", one of my siblings believed for many years that this song said, "Give said the little STRING." This led to a lot of confusion about the correlation between giving, a string, and why the grass would grow greener still wherever this magical string went.
One day my Daughter was singing "Give, said the little stream", and I finally heard the way she was singing it, (Instead of "I'm small, I know but wherever I go the grass grows greener still") she used to sing "I smiled, I know, but wherever I go the grass grows green and still."
Even funnier still, my Son also sings "I am a child of God", creatively. He was singing this song recently and belted out, "I am a child of God and so my knees are gray."
I hope that you are having a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
-Appreciable Goodfaithpoet
