Loved Ones (Not) Far Away: IMprov Haiku

When loved ones live on

in memories, we’re glad they’re

never far away.

Family Tree Limerick

As we research, travel, and see

Our far-flung family pedigree,

It’s not just through random chances

That we get to add more branches

To our growing family tree.

Each Fall I look back/

at last Spring’s seed stack and think/

of dreams unfulfilled.

Why do I write if/
my words, one day, will vanish?
Why do I eat, drink?

Prompted by The Book of Mormon, 2nd Nephi, Chapter 25, verse 26:
“26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.”
