I know that Jesus Christ will come again (primary theme for December 2013)

I know that Christ lived on the Earth
Although I wasn't there.
I know He blessed and healed the sick
And answered many prayers.

I know He gave the blind man sight
I know He raised the dead
I know He caused the deaf to hear
People followed where He led.

I know that Christ is the Son of God
And that He suffered for our sins
I know that He has conquered death
I know He lives again.

I know that Christ will come again
I hope I can be there
To see His face and feel His love
And kneel with Him in prayer.

We are to thank God in all things (primary theme for November 2013)

Heavenly Father made this earth
And all that dwells within it
He made the plants and animals
And He's the father of our spirits.

He made all things for us
Because of His great love
He watches and directs us
From His home above.

He gave us the commandments
And sent Christ to show the way
That we may live with Him again
At the end of this long day.

With hearts full of gratitude
We thank Him for all things
For His loving kindness
And the blessings that He brings.

I will share the gospel with all of God's children (primary theme for October 2013)

Heavenly Father loves all His children
Both in heaven and on Earth
But many do not know Him
Or know their royal worth.

He gave the plan of happiness
So to Him we may return
But many do not know of it
Or know of God's concern.

I will take my knowledge
Of Heavenly Father's plan
And teach my brothers and sisters
All across the land.

I will be a missionary
Both near and far away
I will share the Gospel
Each and every day.

I will serve God with all my heart, might, mind and strength (primary theme for September 2013)

I have an earthly body
Full of strength and speed
I will use it to serve my brother
I will help his every need.

I have a caring heart
Deep inside of me
I will show loving kindness
To everyone I meet.

I have a brilliant mind
So smart, so quick, and bright
I'll use it to search the scriptures
And study with all my might.

All these wonderful things
Heavenly Father gave to me
I will serve Him always
And be what He wants me to be.

Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers (Primary theme for August 2013)

I have a Father in Heaven
Who loves and cares for me
He watches all I do
And sees what I can't see.

He sent me down to Earth
So very far away
But we are still connected
Each time I kneel and pray.

I know He's always waiting
With anxious delight
To hear my whispered prayers
Each morning and each night

I share in simple words
My worries, hopes and fears
I share with Him my gratitude
All of which He hears.

He answers all my prayers
Because His love for me
Not always how I want
But always what I need.

I'm grateful for my Father
Who hears and answers prayers
I'm grateful I can talk with Him
and know He really cares.

Families are part of Heavenly Father's plan (primary theme for July 2013)

We came to Earth to be tested
And to do the best we can
Our spirits to get a body
All part of God's great plan

God knew that we'd need helpers
He knew we'd need great care
He knew that we'd need someone
To help us while we're there.

So we are born into a family
It may be big or small
They love, guide and teach us
And help us when we fall.

Our little family circle
Is linked through bonds of love
It's made to be eternal
By our Father above

I will follow Heavenly Father's plan by being baptized and confirmed (primary theme for June 2013)

Heavenly Father made a plan
For all his children on Earth
He wants us to be happy
And know our royal worth.

The first step in His plan
When we turn the age of eight
Is baptism by immersion
So simple, but so great!

The second step is to be confirmed
And receive the Holy Ghost
He'll be a constant helper
When we're needing him the most.

I will be baptized
And follow this wonderful plan
I will be confirmed
And do the best I can.

Easter

On this Easter morning
I remember Christ the Lord
I remember that He died for me
He fulfilled God's holy word.

Because of His great sacrifice
My sins can be forgiven
My life can be made clean again
To stand before Father in Heaven.

But Christ did more than die for me
He brought a promise of new life
For He was resurrected
On Easter's morning light.

Death was finally conquered
Life continues on
I will live again
Like God's begotten Son.

Choose the Right

Choose the Right

In this world today
It is hard to choose the right
There are so many temptations
We need the gospel's light

The gospel helps us see
What the Lord would have us do
The choice may not be easy
But the Spirit will help us through.

The gospel and it's principles
Are here for every one
If we heed it's teachings
We will overcome.

I know the Lord's teachings
I've learned them since my birth
I know that if I follow them
I'll pass this test on Earth.

Jesus, our Savior

Jesus, Our Savior

In the scriptures we will find
The birth of a baby boy
He had come to save mankind
And bring us all great joy.

As a boy he was found
Teaching in the temple
The temple leaders he did astound
And many other people.

As a man he showed the way
His life, our great example
He gave the blind the light of day
And the gospel to all the people.

In His death, He gave us life
And opened the door to heaven
We now can shed our ways of strife
Repent, and be forgiven.

The scriptures tell of His return
The world shall know His name
For Jesus Christ we all will yearn
The boy, the man, the same.

God speaks to his prophets

God Speaks to His Prophets

The Lords speaks to His prophets
So we may know His will
That we may be guided
Our missions to fulfill.

The prophet speaks the words
Of warning and of love
He truly is inspired
By messages from above.

If we heed his council
And do our very best
We will be so happy
Our lives will be so blessed.

Heavenly Father loves us
And we can see that's true
Because we have a prophet
To guide both me and you.

Serving others


Serving Others


Heavenly Father sent us to earth
and Jesus to show the way
We are given families at our birth
To help us everyday.

Jesus said, "Come follow me"
He spoke to one and all
Like Him we should try to be
And answer his loving call.

Jesus loved everyone
And we should do the same.
We can serve until the job is done
And do it in His name.

We'll have a happy feeling,
A burning in our hearts
And Heavenly Father's blessings
To us, He will impart.

Ad do as he directs
My choices will be better
My life will be more blessed.

I'm glad that he is there
I'm glad the Lord will speak to him
Through his fervent prayers.

Purpose of Primary Poems

I started compliling the poems I've written over the years for my children when they had to speak in primary.  Many people have thought I should make them into a book and publish them, and maybe I will one day, but for now I've created this blog.

The poems are listed by title, but I tried to put descriptive labels with the blog posts so you don't have to read through every one to find the one you would like.

I hope you enjoy them, and that these may bring some relief to those parents who forget about their children's talks until Sunday morning!  (Admittedly, most of these poems were written in Sacrament meeting the day of!)
