When life is hard to handle,
Lord, give me the help I need.
When I find life chaotic,
Make it peaceful, Lord, I plead.

When my mouth should be closed,        
Keep it shut, Lord, I ask you
When life is hard to handle,
Problems in life have be few.      

I ask you Lord to help me
To know how to handle life,
Help me to be contented,
With the good I have in strife.    

When handling life is hard, Lord,                                            
Help me seek heaven's reward.

Friend, you have a sunshine heart,
That's always brightly shining.
When your love comes in my heart,
Beauty there it's designing.

Your heart has lots of sunshine,
It also has care and love,
Your heart is a rare treasure,
It's one I think highly of.

When your smiles reach the heavens,
Many stars they'll ricochet,
Then the stars will be spinning,
In a very lovely way.

Friend, keep a smile on your face,
And peace in your loving heart,
Always keep God in your heart,
And from him, friend, never part.  

When I need a friend, be there,
The way you so often do,
It is your heart so caring,
With much love I am drawn to.

POEM TO ST. ANTHONY
For all the things I have lost,
That you have helped me to find,
Not having to search no more            
Surely does help ease my mind.

St. Anthony, please help me,              
To live in humility,
Help me live my life for God,
Showing love and charity.

Help me live in poverty,
When it's what I'm called to do,
Holiness St. Anthony,
Help me always to pursue.

Help me to live out virtues,
That will help spread the Good News.

Spending Time With God
When we spend our time with God,
That's what God wants us to do.
When we obey his commands,
Close to him, we'll be drawn to.

God wants us to visit him,
Ad give him adoration,  
He wants to give us great joy,
He wants for us elation.

The Lord can soften the soil,
That's found in a hardened heart,
When in the heart we let God in,
We will find the healing start.

Gold, A Precious Metal
GoId is a precious metal,
And conductor for my heart,
It brings your love in my heart,
Entering fast like a dart.

When gold from your heart departs,
It makes its way to your smiles,
Its brightness radiates light,
It's noticed from distant miles.

Friend, your heart shines bright like gold,
But it is much more worthwhile,
Making its way to your face,
It's found on your every smile.

Your heart I think of much more,
It sure deserves an encore.

And also, your peace and love,
Radiant make my heart be,
So much more than stars above.

Make the light of your heart, Lord,
Touch my heart, so it's restored.

Hope
Hope is  what we always  need,
All the more when life is rough;
It helps us to not give up,
Hope  will give us strength enough.

It helps us to see clearly,
To do the things that we should;
And when we find life trying,
It helps us do what's good.

Hope helps us to not despair,
It helps us see life's bright side,
Much good it has to offer,
Hardened hearts it opens wide.        

Hope helps us to understand,
We have a purpose with worth;
Many lives would be worse off,
If we were not here on earth.

Hope helps keep our spirits up,
During times when we're put down;
It helps us strive for heaven,
Which is life's final touchdown.
