Mary Anne's Heart Of TLC
There's A lovely lass I know,
Who makes my heart brightly glow;
Times when my heart needs repair,    
A patch with her love she'll sew.

My heart makes way for her smiles,
Where they're all welcomed inside.
When days are dark and dreary,
From her sunshine I can't hide.

Her stature is one that's small.
But a giant heart she has.
It's one that shines forth brightly,
And it sparkles with pizazz.            
But a giant heart she has;

In my heart a place there'll be,
For my good friend's TLC.

Dear, Blessed Mother Mary
Dear blessed Mother Mary,
To Your Son draw close to.
Lives that are pure and holy,
Dear Mother help us pursue.

The road that leads to heaven,
Each day help us to follow.
Love we should have for others,
Each day, Mother, help it grow.

Mother help us show mercy,
Help our lives become anew;
As we show to others love,
Lovely Lady dressed in blue.

To live as God wants us to,
You showed us how it is done.
Help us, Mother, live our lives,
So that they will please your Son.

Mother, with your heart this night,
With heaven's stars then compete?
They may shine giving brilliance,
But they will not be stars sweet.

Tonight should I gaze at stars,
You're the one who I'll think of;
To me you're a special star,
Who has showed me how to love.

I know how blessed that I am,
As my mom, God gave me you.
You warmed my heart with sunshine,
To your heart mine is drawn to.

You've a heart of TLC,
That is prized for its beauty.
Yow have showed me how to live,
As you found it your duty.

It's been over a decade,
Since June, Two thousand seven.
I know that you are happy.
Because now you're in heaven.

Jesus, Help Me Sin No More
At times when I am tempted,
Jesus be there at my side.
In what I am in need of,
Jesus, it, to me provide.

You know what I 'm in need of,
And what I should stay far from.
What draws me closer to you,
Help me know how to welcome.

Give me the strength and courage,
To say no to temptation.
Help me, Jesus, in these times,
And through my life's duration.

In evil things, dear, Jesus,
Help me never have a part.      
For loving, dearest Jesus,
Help me make room in my heart.

Help me know what I should do,
To stay far away from sin;
Help me live the way you did,
And courageously hang in.

Rain
It's what some people pray for,
Others pray for it to stop.
At times when there is a drought,
Welcome is every raindrop.

At times when there is a flood,
Sand bagging  often you'll find.
When rivers are  near flood stage
Will damage be far behind?        

Rain is found in thunderstorms
And fills cisterns when they're dry;
At times rain is unwelcomed
When the rivers run too high.

When it's cold rain turns to snow,
And can turn to sleet we know.

Citrus trees while they're in bloom,
Then bear sweet petals of white;
It's while they are blossoming,
Noses and eyes do delight.

When winds blow through citrus trees,
Eyes, their petals will astound.
As they freely dance about,    
Waltzing petals there are found.    

Citrus petals at twilight,
With light from each shining star;
Are a sight that's truly grand,
And very spectacular.
Your heart has a prized bouquet,
That is sure always in bloom;
A bouquet made of virtues,
For them it has plenty room.              

It's made of understanding,
Gentleness and TLC;
And for its love and kindness,
Which give it so much beauty.

Your heart is always sunny.
I never find it gloomy.
I love its virtue bouquet.
It means very much to me.

Your heart has a prized bouquet,
And it always makes my day.

Crab Apple Trees
In spring throughout Missouri,
The buzzing of bees is found;      
Where crab apple trees blossom,    
These trees bees want to surround.    

Profuse are pink-white flowers,
Most release fragrance in air;
When it's time for harvesting,
A heavy yield most of them bear.

Flowers on crab apple trees,
Survive almost every frost;          
Compared to sweeter apples,        
Not as many will be lost.

From the apples of these trees,
Aren't many delicacies.
Most release fragrance in air
In your heart is a bouquet
Beautiful in many ways;                        
It is one always in bloom,            
Your love gives it golden rays.          

It's made of understanding,                  
Gentleness and TLC;                  
It is well known for kindness,        
Your virtues give it beauty.            

This bouquet has much power,          
Light in hearts it  does infuse;      
It's a bouquet I treasure,          
That I'll never want to lose.    

This bouquet I sure treasure,
It means very much to me;
Its beauty excels sunshine,            
Around it I like to be.                

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is a bouquet highly prized.
Each day it gets lovelier,
This my heart has realized.

Jesus, Answer My Request
I've a request dear Jesus,
To help me during my life,
Bring peace and joy in my life,
Times when it is filled with strife.

Help me always be thankful,
For good things for me you do.
To the heart of your Mother,
Each day draw me closer to.

Jesus, help me everyday
To live my life to please you.
Help me follow God's Commands,
So real peace they'll lead me to.

During times of temptation,
For holiness help me strive,
On the day of my last breath,
In heaven help me arrive.

Snowing Near the Conifers
As the blizzard’s white snowflakes
Landed on conifer trees,
No longer could green be seen;
The trees were then white beauties.


A lake by the conifers,
Due to bitter weather found,
Had its surface turned to ice,
The snowflakes, the ice had crowned.

Footprints led to a cabin,
Them, some hunters came to see.
They smelled smoke from wood burning,
As it spewed from the chimney.

The owner of the cabin,
Told the hunters when they knocked,
“I’d ask you to eat with me,
But on food I’m poorly stocked.”

“We can bring in meat to eat,”
They replied assuredly.
“Deer this year are plentiful,
We can feast on their bounty.”

They ate to their heart’s content.
For a while, there they did stay.
“For the road that leads us home,
Let’s start looking for today.
