With permission - wanted to share a poem from a friend of mine

Yearning - A poem and a prayer

I pray unto thee father

the longing of my heart

For one of thy pure daughters

home and family here to start

In my blessing thou hast said

son find one worthy of thee

yet oft the opposite I have asked

grant one of whom I'm worthy

In my singles ward there are

thy daughters many fair

yet when I prayed unto thee Lord

thou said she is not there

Where oh Lord bidst thou I seek

I ask thee oft to show

I can not find such on my own

Oh Lord please let me know

Impress upon my heart and mind

When face to face I see

A daughter holding within her soul

the virtues you've put within me

An equal to my heart and soul

Who seeks to thee delight

guide unto me Lord I pray

let such find in me matched light

I know that I'm not perfect

though I seek to so become

yet this I know assuredly

it takes two to become one

Man by his own can not obtain

the highest lofty height

Of thy kingdom heavenward

in which I've placed my sight

I'll love her with all of my soul

And always faithful be

I'll cleave unto her and her alone

For all of time and all eternity

One daughter fair I seek to find

and in the temple wed eternally

My worthiness to thee I've shown

Please let me start a family

As I close now this my prayer

I send it to thee above

In the name of my Savior dear

Whose name is also love
