My Children's Hands


2 Nephi 9:3 -- Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever, because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.

King David, after many wars, a Temple to his Lord
asked to build so censers could replace the bloody sword.
But God told David he was not quite fit to do that thing;
it would have to wait until son Solomon was king.

I, too, feel that my follies and career leave some constraint
upon my future labors as a feeble, struggling Saint.
How wonderful my children may surpass their own begetter
and build the Kingdom with stout hands that are so much better!
