Found living in Missouri,
Is a highly treasured star,
Mary Anne, it is your smiles,
That make life spectacular.

Whenever I am near you,
With your heart gentle and dear,
TLC profuse you bring,
So smiles on my face appear.

If I were a Christmas tree,
As the star I would want you,
You always bring me sunshine,
And I love it how you do.

Mary Anne, your heart of gold,
Has much highly esteemed worth;
TlC that's in your heart,
Never let become a dearth.

No matter where you're living.
Your friendship is highly prized;
You are a special angel,
Your gold smiles I've analyzed.

Each one is fourteen karats,
Fort Knox wishes they were there;
Should the wind take hold of them,
Gold sunshine would fill the air.

Lord. I love you ardently,
And I will my whole life through.
Help me, Lord, to do your will,
As holiness I pursue.

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

Help me love you ardently,
Now and for eternity.

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.
