Prayer To St. Joseph
Dear foster rather of Jesus,
The spouse of our Blessed Mother,
Give to us your fatherly care,
Show us how to treat each other.

From St. Joseph, foster father,
Of God's only begotten Son,
Jesus had learned good examples,
And skills the way they should be done.

St. Joseph had taught Jesus Christ,
How to live a virtuous life;
He taught Jesus to be loving,
In good times, and in times of strife.

Wisdom, St. Joseph to us give,
And show us how we are to live.

Last Year's St. Pat's Night
year year when I looked in the sky,
On March seventeenth ,then I could see,  
Many stars were do--ci -doing,
All throughout the whole galaxy.

Normally the stars above are,
Yellow, red, white, and blazing blue;
But it was on that St. Pat's night,
The green shamrocks were far from few.

It was a flabbergasting sight,
One that I will never forget;
So many stars spun like a top,
Each one beautiful, you bet!

Su San Valenti'n Bouquet
Your St. Valentine bouquet                
Has understanding and love;
There's TLC and kindness,                            
By me it's thought highly of.

Floral ones bring a high price,          
But they're not as beautiful;          
As the one that's from your heart,
It's priceless and that's no bull.      

Your St. Valentine bouquet,
Will be remembered by me;             
To me it means very much,        
It's treasured for its beauty.            

Your St. Valentine bouquet,
To me has so much to say,

How do you like the weather,
Mary Anne, good friend of mine?
In Missouri's bitter cold,
I bet your heart still does shine.

Intense heat does it give out,
It's too cold for that to be;
That's for stars in the heavens,
Your heart gives warmth, I can see.

Your heart is one warm enough,
To keep icicles away;
So it is never icy,
Bringing bright light in the day.

Your gold smiles , Mary Anne,
From your heart come there in flakes;
They are ones of high grade ore,
Collecting them brings high stakes.

Keep warm on bitter cold days,
At least try the best you can;
If it's at all possible,
Try to get warm, Mary Anne.
When the weather, is frigid,
God, help us in times like these;        
Then send a warm front our way,
Painful is a bitter freeze.                  

To people without a home,
Freezing weather is real cruel;
Help them find a place to go,
Where it's heated with fuel.

Being thankful is real hard,
Frigid weather we can't stand;
You didn't layer us with fur,
God, a warm front To us hand.

God, send a warm front our way,
This request to you we pray.

Peaceful,  help me that I'll be.
In my life  loving kindness,
Help me, Mother soon to see.

Show me Mother how to find,
Life's joys in its dismal days.
Show me Mother how to love,
And give to God his due praise.

Help me to love my neighbors,
The way that God wants me to;
When I find life a burden.
Then to God help me be true,

Of you I think highly of,
Gentle Mother, Peaceful Dove.
