Blessed Mother, please help me,
Through another day on earth;
Help me love God, as you do,
Also help me see my worth.

To God and also neighbors,
From my heart, help me show love;
When I get mad or angry,
Have Christ calm me like a dove.

Give me the strength and courage,
To love God the way you do;
And my brothers and sisters,
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue.

Blessed Mother, please help me,
To live my life, more like thee.

Zero In My Heart,
Won't you zero in my heart.
Your love and your TLC?
In my heart there's a bulls - eye,
That you've made so tenderly.  

Gently come and touch my heart,
With peace and tranquility;
I hope you know Mary Anne,
You mean very much to me.

Won't you zero in my heart,
And there bring your bright sunshine?                                                   By me your heart is treasured,                        
And worth more than a gold mine.

Your warm heart is full of love,
That my heart is in need of.
Your heart is full of sunshine,
It is where your smiles get theirs;
Your heart is brimming with love,
I love the way your heart cares.

My heart lights up like a star,
It's your love that makes it glow;
Your friendship lights up my heart,
Friend, I hope that this you know.

You don't light my heart with fire,
And you don't use batteries;
Lightning you never do use,
Nor other ways such as these.

You fill my heart with sunshine,
With your smiles' light that is fine.

Give me the strength to obey,
Dear Mother of God, help me;
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Help me show God love freely.

Like you showed obedience,
Help me to obey like you;
Help me pursue holiness,
Blessed Mother dressed in blue.

Mother, help me be loving,
And show God my gratitude,
Those who are in need of love,
Them, help me never exclude.
You're a very special friend,
Making life lovely, it's true;
Because you're my treasured friend,
I do dearly care for you.

In my life you're a real friend,
Joys in life you help me find;
At times when I am real tense,
You then help me to unwind.

When life is full of darkness,
In it, you then bring much light;
When hard times are depressing,
You rid them like dynamite.

To me you are a swell friend,
Always there when I need one;
Your heart is one that is warm,
Yet still gives light like the sun.

I know I've been very blessed,
Having a friend such as you,
Mary Anne, you're quite a gal,
Gals like you are way too few.

To me you're someone who's swell.
Your heart is one that is prized,            
Sweeter than linden flowers,
And welcomed like sunny skies.

I find you very thoughtful,,    
With a heart that understands;
The more love that's in your heart,            
The more your heart then expands.

When your  smiles reach the heavens,
There they ricochet about;
Hitting stars to make them spin,
Yet the stars light won't go out.  

Mary Anne, you're a swell friend,
I  cherish your heart that's dear;
Keep living as God calls you,    
And to you joys will draw near.

Lovely Lady robed in white,
Help me , once more I pray;      
Bring light in my darkest hours,
Once more, I ask you this day.

When I'm tempted with evil,
And help I am in need of,
Have Christ send sufficient grace
,And bountifully his love.

For It is by thy gentleness,
I'm encouraged to be meek;
The good that is in others,
Mother, it, help me to seek.  

There are  many joys in life,
Some appearing in disguise;
Help me find them, dear Mother,
With a heart that's truly wise.

Watch over me dear Jesus,
And help me throughout each day;
Give me your loving - kindness,
Throughout life, show me your way.

Direct me to heaven's road;

So that I will not explode.

In a loving, caring way;
Help me to be more like you,
In your grace help me to stay.

Jesus, through each day help me,
Jesus, loving help me be.

Jesus, My King Forever
Jesus, my King forever,
To your heart, draw my heart to;
Day and night, draw me closer,
In a way that pleases you.

Bestow your grace upon me,      
To give me the strength I need,
To live a life that's holy,
In every thought, word, and deed.

In the days and in the nights,          
When temptations come my way,
Be near me, Lord and Savior,
And help me so I won't stray.
      
It is my heart's endeavor,        
To love you King forever.

Cisterns (Haiku)
cisterns are empty
until the next thunderstorm
a deluge, stop rain!
Lord, bring peace into my heart,
This request I ask of Thee.
When I am blind to the truth,
It, Lord, help me clearly see.

Joys that life can bring to me,
Help me be open to them;
Help my heart to open wide,
And treat each one like a gem.

Joys that are present each day,
Help me draw them to my heart;
And the blessings that they bring,
In my heart, Lord, them impart.

In my heart, Lord, bring your peace,
Never let its presence cease.
Lord, on me bestow your grace.
Thanks for all you've given me.
Life's joys help me recognize.
In hearts, beauty, help me see.

Dear Lord, I give you due praise.
Your heart with my love I've crowned.
Give me a heart that's priceless,
So in debt I won't be found.

Dear Lord, give me needed strength,
I receive through daily food.
You come in the Eucharist,
For this I show gratitude.

When orange blossoms and snowflakes mix,
It is a sight that's heavenly;
When orange blossoms and snowflakes mound,
The ground's carpet is sure lovely.

The snowflakes are formed in the air,
So warm weather on earth remains;
Although there is still warm weather,
The mix won't cling to window panes.

An aromatic sweet fragrance,
Of orange blossoms delights the nose;
The leaves clinging to the orange trees,
With green color on limbs still grows.

When orange blossoms and snowflakes mix,
The mix on grass easily sticks.
Dearest Blessed Mother Mary,
Families like yours help ours be.
Help all people live holy lives,
From sin's ******* help us be free.

Ask your Son to bestow on us,
The graces that we're in need of;
Dearest Blessed Mother Mary,
Help hearts be gentle like a dove.

Dearest, Blessed Mother Mary,
With radiant light from your Son;
Help us to see as it guides us,    
Until our lives on earth  are done.

Dearest, Blessed, Mother Mary,
Respond to us without tarry.

Fragrance
Honeysuckle's sweet fragrance ,
Is not sweet as is your heart,
Your heart if in a bouquet,
Would sure top the beauty chart.

Rose bouquets have their beauty,
Some are overpowering,
But not as sweet as is your heart,
That is always flowering.

Orange blossoms have a fragrance,
That's prized and highly renowned.
Your heart excels their sweetness.
Your love in my heart is found.

Sunsets
When red is seen in the night,
That's when sailors take delight.
When clouds have a peachy glow,
It sure is a lovely sight.

At the dusk that ends the day,
Clouds are bright and no more gray;
When they're uplifted by wind,
Sunsets that are gems give way.

Cherry petals on branches,
Are a gorgeous sight to see,
When from the limbs they depart,
They make a sight that's lovely.

After whirling in the air,
To the ground they make their way;
Where they make nature's carpet,
Bringing beauty to the day.

While they are still in the air,
Petals do the do - si - do;    
When the wind slows down a bit,
They then start the waltz although.

When the petals fall from trees,
  The eyes they then put at ease.
The eyes they then put at ease.

Unfurling Beautty
Like rosebush buds do unfurl,
Friend, your heart with love does too.
If your heart would have petals,
They'd be lovely ones to view.

Your heart unfurls like a rose,
And it's never touched by frost,    
Bringing sunshine in my heart,
And doing it with no cost.

Your smiles are always welcome,
Your smiling has no curfew;
Friend, you have much TLC,
To your heart, mine is drawn to.      

Gold roses have much beauty,
Your heart has a pure grade gold;
It's when your heart opens up,
Warmth emits but never cold.

Flowers bloom and fade away,
And pearls people like to steal;
Your smiles have greater value,
Them, my friend, never conceal.
Every day is glorious,
With sunshine that's from your heart;
When it makes its way in mine,
Much beauty, there, does impart.

My heart is open to yours,
So that, there, your love can dwell.
You're a friend, my heart treasures.
Your heart is one that's sure swell.

Profuse as stars in heaven,
Are kind things to me you say;
Joys in life you help me find,
In a very special way.

Friend, you make life glorious,
Making it victorious,

Lord, help us to be humble,
Haughty, help us never be;            
Help us be meek and loving,
And show us, Lord, your mercy.

Help us to search for wisdom,
Holiness, help us pursue;
As we show others kindness,
The way that it will please you.

Times when life starts to crumble,
Lord, help us to be humble,
Help us see with a clear view,
When life is a big jumble.

Help us so we won't stumble,
When we try to be humble.

My good friend thinks well of me.
I like it when she's around.
She has a heart that's caring,
Love in it there does abound.

There is an immense beauty,
That's found in my good friend's heart;
In my heart from that of hers,
Gently love it does impart.

Florists are known for roses,
And forget-me-nots of blue;
But these flowers can't excel,
My friend's heart that's gold and true.

I must be thought highly of,
My heart is touched by her love.

Ardently, Lord, I love you,
And I will my whole life through.
Help me, Lord, to do your will,
So I will be more like you.

Help me live my life on earth,
In a way that pleases you;
When life is dark and dismal,
Help me see with a clear view.

Help me to stay true to you,
And live as you want me to;
When I find life hard to live,
Let me know what I should do.

I love you, Lord, ardently,    
Give me your grace and mercy.

When things in life start getting worse,
In these times, God, we need to turn.
He will help us if we ask him,
In these times, God, can help us learn.  

In life, God wants us to find joy.
Peace, He will help us to obtain.
He knows what we are in need of,
And He knows when we are in pain.

God made us to love and serve him,
And our neighbors to show them love.
Also respect and dignity,
Surely, it they are in need of.

When we find hard times are pressing,  
Joy in life is sure a blessing.
Missouri apple trees bloom,
With their sweet blossoms of white;
In their perfuming flowers,
Noses sure do take delight.  

As these petals whirl in air,
With beauty each blossom has,
They make up an awesome scene,
That has plentiful pizazz.

Missouri apple blossoms,
Are a lovely sight to see;
When in Mary Anne's presence,
They are then much more lovely.

Missouri apple trees in bloom,
For her smiles will make room.

And help me have peace of mind.
The joys to be found in life,
Them, dear Lord, help me to find.

Each day bring to me your grace,
And also, dear Lord, your love;
Lord, infuse my heart with them,
Of which I am in need of.

Lord, help me hate what's evil,
And stand up for what is good;
Help me to search for wisdom,
Dear Lord, the way that I should.

Lord, give me strength and courage,
And help me live a life wise.
Lord, give to me your wisdom,
That no money ever buys.
