“Too Young,” New Era, Aug. 1982, 26
Too Young
They say Mary was young.
I don’t think of her as the mature Madonna
The artists show,
But a young girl
With the light of that star shining in her eyes.
And Joseph Smith
Was just another poor farm boy—
He probably felt awkward in their fancy churches,
But he prayed, too.
Maybe
Too young to be important
Is just a state of mind.
