Zoram

Laban's servant Zoram left Jerusalem by force;

Nephi kidnapped him without a bit of glum remorse.

In the desert he as equal toiled with Lehi's sons,

learning of that Spirit that inspires, sometimes stuns.

In the promised land he prospered and begat a host

of righteous children all along that verdant unknown coast.

When I'm kidnapped by a circumstance I cannot budge,

do I act like Zoram and refuse to darkly judge?

Or do I let my story turn to bitterness and blame,

and leave a sour legacy of anger and of shame?

We all have got our stories, sometimes light and sometimes dark;

it's up to us to use them to maintain a godly spark.
