I wrote the following poem because I was seeing a very harsh side of myself but as I prayed about it, God truly blessed me and gave me word to describe what happened. I thought that no one else would get any good out of the poem but I was wrong. I shared it with a friend and it made her feel better. She wondered how I knew.
Power of Prayer
At times when I see a fault,
My soul does a somesault,
But even then I feel God there
Through the power of humble prayer.
He shows me in some little way,
That He is there for me everyday.
It might be in a beautiful sunrise,
That I see His glory in the skies.
Sometimes when I sit and index,
He takes away from me a vex.
And as I discern a hard word,
I truly know my prayer was heard.
Sometimes when the day is strange,
He steps in my soul to rearrange.
Sometimes he sends a treasure
That I might see my true measure.

About Me
- Mom
- Mayer, Arizona
- My name is Suzanne Osborne Halliday. I am a mother of five sons: Michael, Edward, Stephen, Bruce and Daniel. I have a beloved step daughter: Lisa. I am the grandmother of seven grandsons: Anthony, Joshua, Aaron, Tyler, Mattie, Sydney, Zachary, and three grand daughters: Bella, Gali and Alycia. I was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1942 to Harvey Osborne and Joyce White. When I was nine years old my parents moved to Peridot, Arizona, a village on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation where my father had bought a trading post. It was not long after this that I was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A family down the road invited me to attend Primary. It was held in the back of the Weech's Trading Post in San Carlos. This was where I learned that I because of Jesus Christ I could return to live with my Heavenly Father again one day. Three years later my heart was touched by a Joseph Smith pamphlet I found in my brother Stevie's lunch pail. I joined the church 13 May 1961 when I was 19 years old. This decision has greatly changed my life.
