Gerrit's Poems

Here are a few poems that Gerrit wrote at EFY...

A Change

I feel a change
Within my heart.
I do not know
How it did start.

There is a change
In who I am.
To be better
I know I can.

It's a good change,
One of the best.
It comforts me
And helps me rest.

"I wrote this on the second to last day of EFY when I noticed that something had changed inside of me."

The Spirit

I feel my heart beat
Deep inside.
My happy limits
Are defied.

The Spirit's here
Deep within.
And I know God
Can forgive all sin.

I am filled
With so much joy.
And I know this
None can destroy.

"I wrote this at EFY Nauvoo 2010 during testimony meeting. The poem explains the rest."
