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.

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.

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!)
