laying by isaac
rubbing his back,
i hear
jets flying
dave sneezing
saw buzzing
trains chugging
car honking
noah crying
kids jumping
dog barking
washer spinning
...noise building...
and then...
isaac snoring.
good night.
"I invite you to read the Book of Mormon between now and the end of the year. As impossible as that may seem with all you are trying to manage in your life, if you will accept this invitation with full purpose of heart, the Lord will help you find a way to achieve it. And, as you prayerfully study, I promise that the heavens will open for you. The Lord will bless you with increased inspiration and revelation.
"As you read, I would encourage you to mark each verse that speaks of or refers to the Savior. Then, be intentional about talking of Christ, rejoicing in Christ, and preaching of Christ with your families and friends. You and they will be drawn closer to the Savior through this process. And changes, even miracles, will begin to happen."

I love this. So sweet.
Emily...you're a poet?! That was wonderful! You're so insightful and observant. I would love if my students would turn in that sincere and sweet of a poem. Most of theirs are very Emo.
saws buzzing was my fault! SORRY! I promise it will be done tomorrow. :-)
jenn i was SO WORRIED that you were going to be offended by this. in fact after i had posted this and turned my computer off last night i talked to dave about it...so i turned the computer back on, took it out, and then put it back in. i just couldn't decide. it was fine jenn, i was just commenting on all the crazy noises i could hear!
jessica, i didn't think of this as a poem, but i guess maybe it is? it was just a commentary really. i think poems should rhyme.
