But verily I say unto you, that it is not needful for this whole company of mine elders to be moving swiftly upon the waters, whilst the inhabitants on either side are perishing in unbelief.
D&C 61:3
Move not swiftly on the stream,
ignoring on the side
those who thirst for gospel truth
and perish from their pride.
Instead of cruising blithely by
the banks of unbelief,
moor your craft a little while
and sound a bright motif.
Speeding down life's river
creates waves, and little more.
Stop to smile and chat a bit
with those upon the shore.
And should they spurn your overtures,
don't take it very hard --
since, after all, you'll sail your boat
beyond their great junkyard.
