Guardian angel, stay with me,
Everyday God's will, help me see:
Give me the strength to do God's will,
On heaven's road, there please guide me.

Guard me throughout all of my life,
At life's last hour, then with me be.
Courageously help me forgive.
I ask you to stay close to me.

During times when I am tempted,
Show me how God wants me to live,
When I am in need of advice,
Bountifully, it , to me give.

Guardian angel, stay with me,
At times when I am lost, guide me.

Respect Life Sonnet
If we are to love our neighbors,                 
The unborn we  must then love too.:
No matter how small they may be,
They're protection we must pursue.

So many aborted babies,                             
Have mothers who for their babes mourn:
We must respect innocent lives,
Unborn humans we must not scorn.

The moment we were first conceived,        
We were not cells of our mother:
We have individual lives,                        
Our lives weren't part of an other.


Our nation is in need of laws,
That will protect life with no flaws.

Respect Life
If we're to love our neighbors,
We can't leave out the unborn:
We must show them protection,
It's their lives we must not scorn.

Our lives first had DNA                  
The moment we were conceived:          
We weren't blobs of our mom's cells,    
Don't let ourselves be deceived.

Even if our mom's blood type,
Is the same type that we got:
Things still get even clearer,                      
When unlike mom's ours are not.      

The babies born and unborn,
Are gifts to moms from above.
Let's show all babies respect,
And unconditional love.

As we  enter life's next stage,  
The same person still we'll be:
Our country must obey God,    
If we're truly to be free.

Lord, help me love my neighbors:
Even when I don't want to.
Give me the strength that I need,
So holiness I'll pursue,

When hate arises in my life,    
It, dear Lord, help me then face:    
Give to me what I need most,
So hate with love I'll replace.                    

Help me give light to neighbors,        
So that they will come to see:   
It's when we love our neighbors,        
Earth will then have more beauty.

Help me love my neighbors, Lord,
Lack of love I can't afford.

When we find life with burdens,      
Lord, life's load is hard to bear:      
During times such as these, Lord
Be sure to show us you care.        

When crosses weigh upon us,  
And we find life hard to live:
Then we need to be grateful,
When wisdom to us you give.          

When we find life a burden,            
Lighter help our lives to be:            
Joys to be found in our lives,              
Dearest Lord help us to see.                                        

When burdensome life we find,
Of life's joys, Lord, us remind.

Lord, by the good that we do,          
May others then come to see:  
That to find true happiness,            
Pleasing you will be the key.                  

When we are in need of strength,                    
Profusely it to us give:                                                
Protect us when we're tempted,  
So holy lives we can live.

You said  do not be afraid,                
And to put our trust in you:              
Help us live our lives for you,
As you commanded us to.                              

Help us be light to others,    
Answer us Lord when we pray:
And on the road to heaven,  
Jesus, show to us the way:

Heaven
In God's heavenly, kingdom,                      
Peaceful everything will be:              
We'll be with saints and angels,            
And God for eternity.      

It's an eternal haven,                              
From miseries on the earth,                  
We'll be with God forever,  
And joys there will have no dearth.              

Let's live as God commands us,
And peaceful our lives can be,    
Earth has its pains and troubles,    
In heaven they'll no more be.
Like you, Mother, help me live.    
Encourage me to forgive.
For God help me live my life,
Especially when there's strife.

The hearts of others help me win,
To sin help me close my heart:
Like Jesus help me to be,
Evil help me want no part. 

Help me to say yes like you,
To what Jesus calls me to:
 A pure life, help me to live,
Holiness, help me pursue.

To Jesus help me turn to.
Help me, Mother live like you.

Neier's Summer Nights
Stars seen in Neier's skies at night,
Are an awesome, marvelous sight:
Fireflies acrobat in the air,
No ropes can be seen anywhere.

Their flying is a real artwork,
Arrows and hearts light up the air:
This is an awesome sight to see,
A sight that makes us want to stare.

Beautiful songs that crickets play,
Add beauty to help end the day:
As nighttime flowers. open wide
Moonflowers' sweetness makes its way.

Neier's summer nights are grand to see,
It is there that we want to be.

Lord, help us be courageous,
And innocent life protect:            
Help us protect the voiceless
Who are worthy of our respect.      

You made us in your image,
Of respect we're in need of:
If others will not love us,
Then give to us, Lord your love.                    

All human life has great worth,
On a cross for us you died:
Show us how we are to live,
Dear Lord, over us preside.

Lord, help us to respect life,
Times when we encounter strife.

Flowers
Though flowers don't have blood cells,
Some have intrinsic beauty:
Some when they are in full bloom
Are real delightful to see.      

Some birds pollinate flowers.
In the nectar some delight:              
I delight in the flowers,    
That release sweetness at night.
At times when life is hectic,
And we find life hard to live:
What we're most in need of,
Is your love, Lord, to us give.        

Help us grow in holiness:              
Humble, show us how to be,        
To you Lord, help us be true,              
Show us how we're to love Thee.          

Wisdom, Lord, drill in us,
Help us so we'll become wise:
Help us, Lord, so we'll please you,
And lead us to paradise.

Help us forgive others, Lord,
You're our God to be adored.
