Before we ask for something,
God knows what we're in need of;
God likes to give us good things;
Especially when it's love.

We're called to be persistent,
Living as God wants us to;
Holiness is what pleases him,
It, he wants us to pursue.

God wants hearts to be gentle,
And be understanding too;
With hearts open to our Lord,
Our lives then become anew.

Absence of your love, dear Lord,
Is something we can't afford.

When there is grace in one's heart,
Life is easier to live;
People who are close to Christ,
Are blessed with joys he does give.

Brilliant light from our Savior,
Will not cease to shine brightly;
His heart so full of beauty,
By the whole world, one can see.

When a heart does not lack grace,
It will be a heart that's wise;
The things that are not from God,
Grace-filled hearts want to despise.

When in a heart, there is grace,
It draws closer to our Lord;
To hearts it wants to show love,
God, by such hearts is adored.

When I find life a burden,
And it's difficult to live;
During such times as these, Lord,
Needed strength to me, then give.

When burdens weigh on my heart,
Lift me up, Lord, from their weight;
Lord, make life's burdens lighter,
For your help, Lord, help me wait.

When I find life depressing,
Help in finding peace, give Lord;
When I find my heart broken,
Lord, help it to be restored.

When I find life a burden,
Joys in life, Lord, help me find;
Help me, Lord, to trust in you,
And help me find peace of mind.

Mother, Blessed, queen of love,
Help Me, so I'll love like you;
Help my heart be one that's pure,
Heaven, help me to pursue.

Help me Mother, through my life,
So that I will be at peace;
The love I have for your Son,
Help it, Mother, to increase.

Please, help my heart, dear Mother,
Find peace and tranquility;
The good that is in others,
Help me, Mother, each day see.

Help my heart to always be,
Mother, blessed,  queen of love,
A heart that is contented,
Seeking good I'm in need of.

St. Val's Day in Florida,
Is a lovely place to be;
Though snow there is seldom seen,
It's a grand place of beauty.

Citrus trees display beauty,
With fragrant blossoms of white;
The sky is one of wonder,
An awesome sight of delight.

Petals from the trees are leaving,
As the winds uplift them high,
Filling the sky with beauty,
That can make a person sigh.

At this sight people marvel,
As their petals fill the air.
It's a sight truly awesome,
Tufts of petals everywhere.

Lord, help me to be prudent,
And live as you want me to;
First in life help me put you,
To you, Lord, help me stay true.

Help me to love my neighbors,
And help me to do your will.
Give me grace, Lord, that I need,
Peace in my heart, there, instill.

In life's decisions, help me,
So that prudent they may be.
In heaven's quest, Lord, Lord, help me.
Bring me closer, Lord, to Thee.

Wisdom and understanding,
Them, help me draw closer to.
Help me to live prudently,
In the things I say and do.

prudence, Lord, help me pursue,
Everyday my whole life through;
Lord, help me be more like you,
As you draw me close to you.

Lord, help me despise evil,
And harm to me it does bring,
When I have a heart of stone,
Give it love for softening.

At times when my heart is sad,
Then, Lord, bring to it your joy;
Help me have a gentle heart,
With love that is its alloy.

Lord, keep beams out of my eyes,
So that I'm able to see;
When I love the way you want,
My heart is full of beauty.

You're someone very special,
Hearts like yours are prized and rare.
There are smiles bright on my face,
You're the one who put them there.

Ireland has the Blarney Stone,
And its share of shamrocks green;
Ireland sure wants your visits,
To help the chefs with cuisine.

I hope you have a swell time,
While on the Emerald Isles,
And make Ireland much brighter,
With the sunshine of your smiles.

When you return from Ireland,
Immense light, here, there will be;
Your heart profuse with sunshine,
Highlights Missou's scenery.

Mizzou' has the Gateway Arch,
And the Mississippi wide;
Warmth you've  brought bring into my heart,
And joys, there, you've multiplied.

When hearts she sees are broken,
With her love, them, she will patch.
She has a heart of sweetness,
Lilac flowers will not match.

Her sweetness excels blossoms,
Of black locust and bloom white;
And also sweet orange blossoms,
That sure bring noses delight.

She's someone very thoughtful.
She sure knows how to be dear;
She's a heart of TLC,
Everyday of every year.

Blessed Mother, make me wise,
The way Christ wants me to be;
Help me lead others to God    
By good examples daily.              

Tenderly, dearest Mother,
Lovely Lady dressed in blue:
With your love reach out to me,
And draw me closer to you.

Help me to live peacefully,
Patience, help me to pursue.    
Daily, Mother, help me love,
In a way that will please you.
