Mission Poem

A mission is a strange experience,

It's a trial and a test.

A mission throws at you the worst,

Yet teaches you the best.

I've never been so happy, 

I've never been so depressed,

I've never felt so forsaken;

I've never felt so blessed.

I've never been so confused,

Things have never been so clear.

I've never felt Heavenly Father so distant,

Yet He's never been so near.

I've never been so discouraged,

I've never been so full of hope.

I feel I could go forever,

I think I've come to the end of my rope!

I've never had it quite so easy

I've never had it quite so tough.

Things have never been so smooth,

Things have never been so rough.

I've never traveled through more valleys,

I've never ascended so many peaks.

I've never met so many nice people,

I've never met so many freaks!

I've never had so many ups,

I've never had so many downs.

I've never worn so many smiles,

I've never worn so many frowns.

I've never been so lonely,

I've never had so many friends.

Boy, I hope this is all over soon

Gosh, I hope it never ends!!!
