Mary holds the lifeless body
As tears flow from her eyes
Does she also know that
Soon her son must rise?
Mary holds her baby's hand
So little and so frail
Does she also understand
That they would be pierced by a nail?
Mary holds her son close to her chest
When they find him teaching
Does she feel so blessed that
Even to death He is reaching?
Mary holds her son to wish him a good day
As he works with Joseph at his trade
Mary holds our hand as we walk the way
God says: see the work my hands have made!
this was inspired by looking at a statue of Mary holding Jesus' lifeless body in her arms during one Adoration. Written during a "40 Hours Devotion" started by St. John Neumann when he came to America.

Dear Mary-Jane, thank you for always being there,
Making life's struggles easy to bear,
Letting me complain when life is unfair,
Pollute the sky with slumbering air,
I only smoke the loudest, hard to compare,
My trees can't be turned down the THC blares,
The only thing that can make me not care,
Render me oblivious but also aware,
Make me so blind I sit and I stare,
Leave the house sober? I wouldn't dare,
Mesmerized by your green skin and orange hair,
I cherish the crystals you wear with flair
Even the heat from your glare when you flare
Without I don't know how I would fare,
I share although I proudly declare
My love for you, I lay my heart bare,
Ensnared by this smoky love affair,
You show your love with the way you impair,
I swear there couldn't be a more perfect pair.

(HOOK)
Mary is a loyal girl, she never lets me down,
When I am lonely she can always be found,
She lets me be myself, she's what I'm dreaming of,
One kiss of her smoke and I'm sure I'm in love.

She's everything I look for in a lover and a friend,
This relationship will never come to an end,
The high I feel after I breathe her in,
Is like pure ecstasy underneath my skin.

I'm a slave to the strain, I'm insane,
When I blow out I become deranged,
Stay in the frame, maintain,
Tired of these lame games,
You're a **** shame,
I bet you pride stays in pain,
Soul feels slain when you see the stain,
On the mirror when you wake, it's your face,
The man staring back kicks your ***,
Got you feeling like last in class,
Beat it up and pass it back,
Hit it while seasons just pass,
Hotter than a blowfish full of gas.

(HOOK)

I wanna marry Mary, make her my wife,
Only girl I want for the rest of my life.
This is a collaboration, my first one Ever! My boyfriend wrote the second verse and I wrote everything else. He was just freestyling too, he is a badass.

Along the stairway to Heaven
The angels play their harps of gold
They sing hymns of ceaseless praise
To the prince of peace and king of kings.
He came down from Heaven to take his place as man
To pay the cost we could not pay was always the plan.
I walk along the stairway to Heaven
It is a long and challenging climb
But I keep my eyes fixed ahead and I make some progress.
I do not walk alone for there are many here with me
The way we make it up is to help each other.
Mary made a path for us and Jesus paved the way
Joseph walks beside us lending us his strength
Jacob dreams a ladder stretching from Heaven to earth.
The cross became the bridge with which to cross
The Grand Canyon that is between us and God.
Sometimes I feel like I'm close to you
Other times I'm miles away and in the dark.
Be with me Lord and help me on the way
Lord give me strength for the journey.
At times the climb is more like a battle
Fighting just to keep my feet from falling
But when I lose hope I think I feel you calling.
The stairway to Heaven will last a lifetime
There are many gone before us to help show us
To guide and encourage and challenge.
Following their light to the source of all light.
The stairway to Heaven is not always an easy climb
But it has been well worth the struggle every single time.

She's that girl standing behind you.
she will laugh at your fails and misfortune
but whatever happens,
she won't leave by your side

she may block you
she may kick you , throw you things
she may hug you, when you least expect it
she is my love
one of the people who introduced me to poetry and mystery :)

I've got this real good friend at home,
I call her Mary Jane
I spend a lot of time with her,
at least an hour everyday.

She sets fire to my anger,
We watch my doubts all dance away.
When she raises my head into the clouds
I feel like everything's okay.

Some of my friends don't like her,
and that I understand,
Sometimes it's overwhelming
When Mary Jane takes your hand.

Some days she takes you far away from you
and says she wants to play a game,
and then, next thing you know
she tries to climb inside your brain.

But I'm at peace with her you see,
We're roommates now. Ya know,
Id rather hang with Mary Jane
than her crazy brother Blow.
mary jane,
we met last friday.
i had waited so long for you.

mary jane,
it wasn't a party,
but you had me swooning.

i wore my body like a shell
for protection.

but you came through,
caught my attention.

breathe in.
breathe out.
i got this.
breathe in.
breathe out.

mary jane,
you're so cool.

i lost my breath
after tasting you.

but the boy
who brought you to me,
well mary jane,
it just can't be.

cause with his due diligence,
rocked my innocence,
oh it was dangling like a thread.

it was bound to go,
he stole the show,
i want him...

breathe in.
breathe out.
i got this.
breathe in.
breathe out.

i know you've been the light
of his life for so long.
and i waited to taste you
like a long-awaited love song.

but, you and i,
you and him,
are just so wrong.

you may have caught my attention,
but he's the one who will
enjoy my affection.

oh i can't wait to get him home.
WRR-

I've got me a best friend
His name is Jack
I put him on rocks
Then mix him with black

He and I hang
With a lady named Mary
Jane is her last name
Though I'm careful not to carry

When we're all together
My troubles slip away
I don't worry about anything
But I have to watch what I say

We get into some trouble
But most of the time we're
All alone in my room
With a twelve pack of beer

Jack helps me cope
He listens to my worries
Takes away my anxiety
And the **** my brain buries

Oh and Mary is here too
She helps me sleep
When my brain won't stop
And my thoughts get too deep

They say friends are forever
And I hope that's the truth
Because without them here
I wouldn't know what the **** I'd do

Traveling along down that long dusty road
Carrying within a heavy load
You journeyed far as Christ in-dwelt
A warmth that would cause ice to melt
You went forth to Bethlehem: house of bread
With no guarantees only Spirit led
From there he came forth to shine the light
That pierces even the blackest of night
Born in a stable not a place to call your own
But that night love itself came home
Shepherds and wisemen and animals send
Honor to the king as on knees they bend
They came from fields both near and far
Following the radiant wandering star
They pay their respects and you hold it in your heart
Could you have known the truth right from the start?
You son would come to redeem and save
But to do so, he would first be in a grave
Was it quiet and still on the first night was all the world at peace
For we received the presence of the one who frees
As a mother you wrapped him in your loving arms
As a mother you tried to keep him safe from harm
As a mother you danced when he laughed and wept when he cried
You held his body in your arms again when he died
As a mother you walked beside him as he went
You trusted his plan even if you didn’t see at the moment
As a mother you were present and you cared
You comforted your son when he was scared
As a mother, show us your son that we too may know
Him and follow him and likewise grow
May our faith be strong and may it never die
May the well run deep and the living waters never be dry
As our mother, we look to you for compassion and healing
As our mother intercede on our behalf as we are kneeling
Be with us always and give us the grace
To look around us and, everywhere, see Jesus’ face
Bless and protect us and forgive us I pray
As we battle to move forward day by day
