“I Wish I Knew,” Ensign, Apr. 1986, 31

“I Wish I Knew”

I wish I knew

the things you do, and

could comprehend where

my beginnings

began.

Would you bring me

into the circle

of your understanding?

But please …

take me not faster

nor

farther than

the light of my own lamp

will reach—I’m afraid of the dark.
