Gordon B Hinckley

I didn't have to be close to know you
you're eyes read into the soul,
and your heart so full of love.

And to think, you never knew
just how much love i have for you.
But i never doubted you,
and i know you felt my prayers

And now you're gone
but still i fear no evil.
I listened to you every chance i had,
and now i am nearer my god to thee.

So i do not cry for you.
You asked me not to,
so i cry for those who never knew you
never heard your voice.

But this peace i feel
has empowered my soul
and i feel like i can fly.


Thank you for what you've given me
for what your strength has lifted me up to

god be with you till we meet again...brother.

Gordon B Hinckley died?!?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW?!?! I did feel a disturbance in the force tonight... wow... this is awful...

A very amazing man who brought Mormonism into the main stream. Not by changing things to be more excepted, but by being honost and open about our beliefs and by being approachable to the world.

Gordon B. Hinckley was a devoute follower of Jesus Christ. And he showed it in everything he did.

A man who served many, not because he felt obligated to but because it was a part of who he was as a person. he loved all of humanity like the sons and daughters of god that they were. He was a hero to many, a mentor to all, and a friend to everyone he knew. He will be greatly missed by many millions of people around the world, and by thousands here in the one place he called home.

I nearly cried when I read that... I'm such a nerd.
