Did You Think To Store?
It is sung to the LDS hymn “Did You Think To Pray?” Thanks to DeShawna Chacon for sharing this with me.
Did You Think To Store?
Ere you spent your family’s paycheck
Did you think to save?
Just a little for the storage,
Just a little for some porridge,
When the times are grave?
Oh, how storage helps the faithful,
When the prophet’s words we heed,
So, if you would not be tearful,
Plan what you will need.
When your neighbor tried to teach you
How to can and sew,
Did you feel intimidated?
Were your plans procrastinated
Now you’re feeling low.
Oh, how empty are the cupboards,
Oh, how ragged are your clothes.
How you’ll wish that you had listened
When the good life goes.
Wheat and beans and salt and honey
May not sound so hot.
But if you are going hungry,
If your tummy’s cold and grumbly,
They can hit the spot.
Store some diapers for the kiddies,
Everything to see you through.
Cloths and patterns, thread and needles.
Store some long johns, too.
If this topics repetitious,
and you’re dull and bored,
When you’ve naught but empty dishes
And you’ve used up all your wishes,
You’ll wished you had stored…
Food that’s tasty and nutritious,
Clothes and bedding, tools and seed,
Skills that guard your family’s future:
Gather what you’ll need.
