we are not like these'

Relief Society?


The sisters gathered at heat of day
To rest in the shade while the children play
And each in her very own way proclaimed
Faults of her neighbor and all defamed.

The first, of her fine neighbor , said,
"She'll not go to heaven when she is dead.
I've never seen her kneel in prayer
And as for church, she's never there."

Another whose name was passed about
Was said to be "a lazy lout."
Her house lies hidden in clutter tall
and trash and dirt are over all."

"I know one sister down the street
Whose short comings just cant be beat.!"
"She has no food supply at all
And never bottles in the fall.!"

Another had no garden plants
And never mended childrens' pants.
Still of others it was said,
"Their children straight to Satin had led."


Which was the worse sin of all they had listed
None really knew, but each one insisted
That surely our Savior couldn't be pleased
with those who through life so carelessly breezed.

The kneeling at night with habitual ease
Prayed thankfully "we are not like these'
And asked, "help me keep showing my love for theeby kindness and love to all I see."
