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,
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.

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.

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.

Is the one that your love weaves through;        
From your heart it gets bright sunlight,

Has colors of awesome splendor,
In your heart is where they unfold.

Where talks of it quickly did start.

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.
