Gone is the smiling face
Of out Prophet Hinckley dear
On the earth his calming words
And teachings live in memory
In and out of the church alike
He formed many friendships, built unifying bridges
Taught and stood for the Gospel true
Yet still had a joke to lighten the mood
Despite years of aging and pain
He worked and traveled for the Church's sake
Not letting his age slow him down at all
Even after a trip to the hospital room
Four years after the death of Marjorie
He's finally joined her in spirit paradise
Though he is missed by people on Earth
He's with his wife and our Father now
I shall never forget
His influence on me
For his is my prophet,
My teacher, my friend
(written in memory of the beloved LDS prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley, on Jan. 28, 2008)
