"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

Happy Birthday


Just as sweet as sweet can be,
Under it all you are part of me.
Little right now, but you are sure to grow.
It will happen to soon, that I know.
All I can do is laugh and play

Every moment of every day.
Vast blue skies and warm sunny days.
Ever and never will cease to amaze.

Cartwheels on the grass put a sweet smile on your face.
Having everything just perfect in pink and lace.
All the love you have and all the love you give,
Put something special into all who live.
Many years will pass and I will grow old,
All the love and hope I have for you this you can not know.
Not until you have spent a lifetime with a daughter like mine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA! WE LOVE YOU BECAUSE: You are sweet, and smart and funny, and a wonderful daughter of GOD who is always smiling! And who is growing way to fast!

Happy birthday, Julia! We love you. Is that the poem that Paul wrote about Julia? It was so wonderful. I loved it.

The Poem was writen by Paul a few days after she was born I asked him to write something to put in her baby book, Instead of a letter to her he wrote a poem. I liked it so much and it only took him about 10 min to write and the first letter of every line spells her name.( How cool!) I actually submitted to the american poetry contest. He didn't win anything but it was publised in a book. I bought the book and gave it to him as a present. He didn't know I done it until about 8 months later when it was publised and I got the book. I've read the other poems in the book and like his the best!Maybe I'm a little bias though
