Dallin H. Oaks
constantly keep paddling.” Dallin H. Oaks.
When the current is against you, just keep paddling my friend.
Paddle through the white water, around the choppy bend.
Row as you have never rowed when giving up seems wise;
Such so-called ease is just the devil in a smooth disguise.
If you show determination as you stroke your way
You will find a host of helpers cheering from the quay.
Be that good example of bright fortitude, and then
You can pull through moral muck while in this mortal fen.
Keep paddling, keep paddling; keep gaining on the world!
Past the rapids and the snags and sneering faces curled.
A crew of angels is at hand to strengthen your intent
To bypass ev’ry folly and all panic circumvent!
