In the heart of Provo, a beloved icon stood,  

A temple cherished, a beacon of good.  

The “spaceship” or the “cupcake,” its whimsical way,  

Captured our hearts, brightening our days.  

Yet, we find ourselves on the cusp of change,  

As the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple rearranges.  

Let’s embrace this moment, this chance to renew,  

For transformation paves paths to something true.  

The foundation is laid, a spire reaching high,  

A testament to faith, a promise to the sky.  

As windows are framed, allowing the light,  

We should welcome this vision, a future so bright.  

Yes, we mourn the old design that brought us such glee,  

But remember, dear friends, it’s not just the façade we see.  

This new temple will grow to mean more than before,  

A sacred space for all, where spirits can soar.  

A petition was signed to preserve what we knew,  

But let’s open our hearts to all that is new.  

Change is a blessing, a chance to expand,  

To build a community, united, hand in hand.  

Imagine the stories that will soon take their flight,  

In this house of the Lord, filled with love and delight.  

Every brick tells a tale, every beam holds our dreams,  

So let us embrace this—together, it seems.  

For in reverence and hope, we stand side by side,  

Ready to welcome this temple with pride.  

Let’s cherish our past but look toward the dawn,  

For this new temple will cradle our hearts, carry us on.
