Tommy’s Testament
With a wiggle of
his ear
And
a twinkle in his eye,
President
Monson says good-bye.
With
a lilt in his voice
And
a captivating rhyme,
President
Monson says good-bye.
With
a joyful heart
And
a ready smile,
President
Monson bids good-bye.
With
a lifetime of service
And
a love divine,
President
Monson says good-bye.
Even if you’re the
boy
Who
sets the field on fire,
Meeting
with the teacher
Needing
help to inspire,
Be
the kind of person
Quick
to respond.
Be
the hands and heart
And
the voice of God.
Go
and help a neighbor.
Run
and serve a friend.
Listen
to the spirit
‘Til
your journey’s end.
Wipe
a tear, share a smile,
Go
the extra mile,
Share
your coat, leave your shoes,
Share
some happy news.
There
are people who need serving
And
the work goes on,
Bidding
President Monson a fond good-bye.
Anna M. Molgard
