I've lost the knack of wonder

A prophet of God once offered me counsel that gives me peace. I was worried that the choices of others might make it impossible for our family to be together forever. He said, “You are worrying about the wrong problem. You just live worthy of the celestial kingdom, and the family arrangements will be more wonderful than you can imagine.”
Henry B. Eyring 


I've lost the knack of wonder in this busy busy world,
and found my hope in better things around the edges curled.
I've got so bound up in the faults of others that I miss
the promise in a sunrise and the evening's gentle kiss.
Left up my head, oh Lord my God; direct my eyes aright,
so I may see horizons that still blaze with beauty bright!
