Chastity is so crucial,                            
In proving one’s love is true.
It helps us with self-control,
To face life with a clear view.

In single and married life,
We must guard our chastity.
Showing concern for others,
Will help us so we'll be free.

A chaste life is a treasure
  Throughout the stages of life:                                          
It helps maintain a marriage,
Through chaotic times of strife.

That’s where real love flourishes,
Where joys often tag along,
A virtue with great power,
That keeps much from going wrong.

It disciplines our bodies,
Helping us to live lives pure,
It helps us manage our lives.
With the courage to endure.


notes:      I had Chastity on poetry,com. I changed a couple words to touch it up and improve beat.  11-25-2022

I know you love me, dear Lord
Graciously love I'll give thee.        
How I can please you the most,
Dear Lord, help me come to see.  

When I love my neighbors,
I am also loving Thee.
And when I serve my neighbors,
Help me do so lovingly.                      

When I find life caving in,
Your hand, Lord, reach out to me,
Show me Lord, how much you care,
And bestow on me mercy.

Dear Lord, I know you love me,
Spiritually help me see.

Under a summer's rainbow,
A lovely sight does appear.
A lovely kaleidoscope,
To the gold *** does adhere.

Found around the *** of gold,
Leprechauns there dance a jig,
.Like a pass between mountains,
Their smiles too are also big.

On the arch of the rainbow,
Should a swing be stationed there,
Under a summer's rainbow,
Would one's weight the rainbow bear?

Under a summer's rainbow,
A delightful breeze does blow.

Take my heart dear, sweet Jesus,
And show it how it should love.
Make my heart one that's gentle,          
So much more than is a dove.

More than the stars in heaven,
Help my heart to brightly glow,
In a quest for holiness,
Jesus. help my heart to grow.

Jesus, take hold of my heart,
And show me how I should live:
The strength I am in need of,
Bountifully to me give.

Jesus, take hold of my heart,
Make blues in my heart depart.
