Sonnet 715 2 Nephi 25: 23, 26 (#2)

Those little listening ears can hear it all

They're learning, leaning, sifting what we say

And even as they're testing out their crawl

Absorbing verbal clues is child's play.

And what do these, our infants, hear from us?

Complaints? Concerns? Corrections? All our cares?

Or prattle, gossip, idle talk and fuss?

Our focus will most likely become theirs.

And what do we record for future eyes

What will our great great grandkids find of use

If they explore our blog or journal tries

Will they find mostly just our daily blues?

But those who often write and speak of Christ

Deliver pearls of wisdom greatly priced.
