D&C 58:27

D&C 58:27
 27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

Sonnet 801 D&C 58:27

I see them every day, and it is sad
Those men engaged in things of little worth
Anxiety for causes small or bad
The champions of the trivial or worse.

Sincere, involved, concerned, enthused, caught up
They may attempt to recruit you as well
And similarly make your daily cup
No better than a porous empty shell.

Though all of us have some desires to build
Be not deceived. Large action in small things
Expends your force and makes you fill fulfilled
But nothing good or real or lasting brings.

So choose your cause with careful prayerful zeal
And make of your free will a first-rate deal.
