Tuberoses
need constant moisture
need heat, water and manure
fragrant tuberoses
On an August summer night,
Moonflowers were in full bloom;    
Their beauty and  sweet fragrance,
Was  satiny with  perfume.      

By the moon's light . one could see,
On the limbs of the peach trees;      
Peaches of red hanging there,
It was seventy degrees.

The Milky Way could be seen,
Easily in a clear view;
The crickets' sound could be heard,
Real clearly the whole night through.

It was on this August night,
I had taken much delight.

You're a real treasured friend of mine,
With happiness my life you fill.
My heart when it needs bright sunshine,
In my heart, there, ,it, you instill.

When the stars' dust is lit up by,
Their positively charged atoms;
There's an incredible light show,
Most everybody sure welcomes.

The Aurora borealis,
Is a beautiful sight to see;
Mary Anne, it's your awesome smiles ,
That I always find so lovely.

You have a heart with a gold core,
That's covered with diamond chips;
Your heart radiates bright sunshine,
Even in a solar eclipse.

The gold that is found in your heart,
Is worth more than Spanish doubloons;
Your TLC sure lifts me up,
Higher than large, hot, air balloons.

Diamonds are precious jewels,
And can sparkle with sunlight bright;
But won't outshine your lovely smiles,
As they glow bright both day and night.

Autumn Clematis Flowers
Autumn clematis flowers,
Bloom in spring and in the fall;
Bees notify other bees,
Come in for the nectar haul.

From summer's Dutch white clover,
And autumn clematis blooms,
From these flowers sweetness flows,
Filling air with sweet perfumes.

They are sweet, poor, man's flowers,
Autumn clematis climbs trees;
When people walk near their blooms,
Folks attention, they will seize.

Autumn clematis flowers,
Some people pay money for;
I'll go where they're unwanted,
Weeding them will be my chore.

When their bloom time is over,
Next years blooms, for them I'll wait;
For their heavenly perfume,
That I always find is great.

A Season Of Flowers
Crocuses and forsythia
Herald spring is close at hand;
A time when seeds shed their coats,
And the days become more grand.

A time when the flowers wake up,
With foliage robust and green;
When freezing weather says farewell,
And the spring flowers can be seen.

In April  there are sweet lilacs,
Bradford pear petals fill the air;
I wish they would be eating pears,
As real profuse these trees would bear.

When May's catalpa trees blossom,  
The trees' flowers have a  are bell - shape;      
Their white flowers have purple throats,
Light fragrance from these blooms  escape.  

Roses and so many flowers,
Make a real, rare, picturesque  sight;
Amidst drapes of catalpa blooms,
There is a sight of grand delight.

With  limbs of white catalpa blooms,,      
The catalpa trees are well draped;
Their blooms release a light fragrance,     
What a lovely place well landscaped.
Help me care for others, Lord,
The way that you care for me.
Show me, Lord, how I'm to live,
Make my life one truly free.

Help me, Lord to not envy,
The things that others possess;
Help me to strive every day,
For a life of holiness.

Help me take care of myself,
The way that you want me to;
Make my heart shine with bright light,
Everyday my whole life through.

Help me know how to succeed,
In life by doing your will.
Needed peace, Lord, bring to me,
In my heart,.it there instill.

When I am no longer here.
And my earthly days are done;
Then,  Lord, take me to heaven,
To be with you and your Son.

Brown Framed Glasses
My friend wears brown framed glasses,
Even if they were ones blue;
To me it wouldn't natter,
It's her heart that I'm drawn to.      

When gold from her smiles shine,
In her brown frames I can see;
Gold enhancing their color,
Making them very lovely.

They highlight her brunette hair,
And to her blue eyes they bring;
Bright sparkles that I cherish,
That I find so uplifting.

The sweetest of all lasses
Wears these prized renowned glasses.

They might then start following me.

Lord, help me to be courageous ,
It might start being contagious.

hAPPY Mother's Day 2015
God sent to me an angel,
When my life first came to be;
At the time of conception,
He was in your womb with me.

He knew that he had a free will,
For letting me live, thank you.
I loved you dearly mother,
And to this day, I still do.

As each second passed away,
As I developed and grew;
I remained the same person,
Before birth and after too.

You've always been dear to me,
And you still are to this day;
I  will still will love you, mother,
Even when I'm old and gray.

Though you've died and left the earth,
For the Pearly Gates above;
I want you to know mother,
You, I'll always dearly love.
Help me have a heart, dear Lord,
One that is loving as yours;
When I open up my heart,
Your love lavishly there pours.

Help me see you in others,
Help me to have peace of mind;  
When others think bad of me,
Lord, then help me to be kind.



Bless me, Lord, with your good gifts,
Others hearts, help me to touch;
Help me know, Lord, what to do,
As to you each heart means much.

Lord , help me  strive for heaven,
Holiness help me pursue;
Help me be truly grateful,
And always, Lord, turn to you.

If Cupid Had A Valentine
If cupid had a valentine,
I'm sure he would send it to you?
The most special person he knows,
To your heart his is sure drawn to.

Decorating it with sweethearts,
Such as ''I love you'' and ''be mine'',
He'd ask you if you'd row with him.
For a trip on the river Rhine.

There's no doubt Cupid wants your heart,
And have you as his valentine.
Did you know today I'm Cupid?
I'm asking if you will be mine.
'm should that person would be you.

Wrapped inside of loving hearts,
Is found gentleness and care.
It wants God's will to be done
And good acts it wants to bear.

Understanding is also
Found wrapped there with love and care;
Joy found inside of such hearts,
A Hundred-fold there does bear.

Loving hearts find comfort in
Living out God's holy will.
Found wrapped inside loving hearts
won't be hate that makes us ill.

God wants us to be happy
And show love for everyone;
He sent Jesus as Savior,
His only beloved Son.

God gave us his Commandments
To help us to know his way;
Following the Light of Christ,
Bright will be the darkest day.

God wants us there in heaven.
His ways, we all need to heed.
We need faith and trust in God,
His laws, much, we all do need.

Befriend Me, Lord
When I find life full of grief,
Lord help these times to be brief.
When crazy, me others drive,
Still I give thanks, I'm alive.    
Times in life when I'm in pain,      
Times without it there's no gain.
How do you want me to live?
To me, Lord, an answer give.
When most everything  I lose,          
Speak to me through 5the Good News,
When it seams worse life  can't be,
When I'm ill, Lord, please nurse me.
When it seams life soon will end,            
Times like this, Lord, me befriend.

Amidst Life's Many Problems
Life has it's share of problems,
They are found in everyday.  
At times we're lifted from life's pits
By kind things folks do and say.

Sometimes life's griefs seem too much,
That we seldom realize,
In some of life's dark moments,
Answers can be in disguise.

Moonflowers(stanza poem)
Fragrant blossoms of moonflowers,              
Release sweetness during the night;
Their sweeet fragrance like sweet perfume,
To noses, does bring much delight.

Moonflowers  cling to trellises,
Like your love does around my heart;
Your sweetness excels moonflowers,  
With its sweetness it does impart.

Your heart is surely more sweeter,  
Than moonflowers will ever be;
By me it is highly treasured,
And it means very much to me.

Help me, dear, loving Jesus,
To know what you call me to;
Give me the strength and courage,
To do the things I should do.

Help me to love my neighbors,
And to take care of my health,
Love for you and my neighborss
Is how I cab find true wealth.

It is not things of the4 world,
That can bring to me real peace;
Earthly things are bought and sold,
But real peace won't come to cease.

Help me, dear, loving Jesus,
How to live, show me the way.
I should do.

Doctor's Promise
We were never promised,
A rose garden life would be,
But something so much better,
That God wants to set hearts free.

We're asked to open our hearts,
There, God wants to come inside;
And make each life happier
Having Joys there multiplied.

God promised that He'd love us,
And listen when we do pray;
The greatest heart Physician,
Answers our calls night and day.

Guide Me holy Spirit
In my life, Holy Spirit,
Guidance that I'm in need of,
Give it to me every day
And help me know how to love.

Help me know what I should do;
Give me courage to be strong.
Help me enter heaven's gates
where forever I'll belong.

Holy Spirit, please guide me
From evil and help me flee,
So on earth I will please you.
Holy Spirit, I love Thee.

Help me love you forever;
Help me so I'll sin never.

Joseph G. Schelling
Dear Mother of our Savour,
When we're in need, come to our aid.
Encourage us to seek guidance,
From your Son when we are afraid.

You know how much he does love you,
And how he also loves us too;
Help us to put our trust in him,
As he helps us draw close to you.

Dear Mother, help us to be strong,
When temptations in life are here;
So we can denounce what's evil,  
To God, dear Mother, draw us near.
