Oh, dear sweet Blessed Mother,
Loving like you, help us be.
By your example show us
How we can touch hearts gently.

To your Son, dearest mother,
Help us be faithful and true.
Help us dear Blessed Mother
To be loving just like you.

Mother, your heart is healing,
Helping ours regain good health.
Having you as our Mother,
Love you give us has great wealth.

Mother having you guide us,
Our Lord, in heaven, we'll see;
Where we'll be with him and you
For all of eternity.

It is the heart of Mary Anne,
That touches my heart with love;
Her heart is known for healing,
Her heart, mine thinks highly of.

It's sweeter than moonflowers
Blooming on a summer's night.
It's her heart of TLC,
That fills my heart with delight.

It's when my heart needs repair,
Her heart comes to the rescue;
Her heart is one always kind,
And not just out of the blue.

My heart, hers knows how to heal,
In a gentle, loving way.
She puts God first in her life,
Close to God she helps me stay.
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
When I find life hard to live,
Help me do good in these times,
In a way that Is active

When I'm most in need of strength,
And I find living is hard;            
Remind me to turn to God,
So I won't be caught off guard.

What I should do, dear Mother,
Help me, it, to clearly see;
When I follow God's commands,
More joys in life I will see.

When I find life hard to live,    
Your wisdom, to me then give.
hen I find life hard to live, find life hard to live,cmMother, when life is hard to live,

God wants our hearts ones at peace.
Humble, God wants us to be.
We're called to work for justice,
And show kindness lovingly.

God wants us to be prudent,
In the things we do and say;
And live as He commands us,
So we will not go astray.

God wants us to be patient,
And have gentleness of heart;
God will guide us with his Light,
So life's darkness will depart.

God wants us to live just lives
And to work for justice too;
To avoid lust during life
Chastity we need pursue.

Strengthen us with fortitude
Life's pains help us to endure
Your grace, Lord, bestow on us
That will help us live lives pure.
Blessed Mother, help me see,
How our Lord, best I can please
Help me so I won't worry,
About life's anxieties.

Blessed Mother pray for me,
In life help me put God first.
Help me live the way you did,
So for holiness I'll thirst.

In God's grace help me to grow.
Mother, show me how to live.
Help me to be more like you,
Show me how I'm to forgive.

Guide me so from sin I'll flee,
To your Son, Mother guide me.
If  champagne flowed from your heart,    
I'd want you to fill my glass.
The champagne would be  finest,    
And be real hard to surpass.

It would be full of bubbles,
And would fizz like soda pop.
It would be served at weddings,              
Delicious would be each drop.

It would flow forth like water,  
And bubble as from a spring;
People would be savoring          
It for being good tasting.              

If champagne flowed from your heart,
It would top the champagne chart.
Bubbleing as from a spring;

Candles
Candles are made to give light,
A fragrance in some is found.
My best friend's heart gives off light.
I feel great when she's around.  

Most candles have wax and wicks,
And some are electronic.
When it comes to giving light,
It is my friend's heart  I pick.

My friend's smiles beam with sunshine,
They give warmth but do not burn;
To be near her sunny heart,
this is what my heart does yearn.      

Some candles have a fragrance.
Love, my friend's heart never lacks;
I find her heart very sweet,
Even more than are lilacs.

The fragrances of candles
In lavender and Lilac,
For these kinds of sweet candles,
For more, my friend does go back.

A Dixie Dawn Of Beauty
In a Dixie grove at dawn,
The beauty there made me sigh;
Citrus petals filled the air,
And winds made the clouds float by.

The clouds were of rosy red,
And had an orange and peach hue;
Citrus petals whirled in air,
And made a real awesome view.

Sweet fragrant citrus petals,
To the limbs no more could cling;
Citrus petals like snowflakes,
Much beauty they sure, did bring.
I find your heart of beauty,
Being worth more than pure gold;
Lovelier than daffodils,              
When their petals do unfold.

Your heart is full of beauty,      
Its love makes my heart shine bright;    
It's welcomed like a full moon,    
In late hours of the night.               

The sweet peas have their tendrils,    
For your love, your heart they squeeze;        
How you give me your heart's love,      
You know how me you can please.

Your smiles sure are not seldom,    
And they are always welcome.
like sweet peas,

When Flowers Blossom Beauty
When the hyacinths blossom,
They're a lovely sight to see,
They release a sweet fragrance,
While they show off their beauty.

When rose buds are unfurling,
Their petals then open wide,
They're flowers so prestigious,
In which all florists take pride.

Dandelions when in bloom,
Are found growing profusely.
Kids pick them for their mothers,
And also for their beauty.

Orchids bloom in the tropics,
And indoors where there is heat,
Some are known for their beauty,
Some are known for being sweet.

Lilacs come in lavender,
And  various colors too;
When it comes to their sweetness,
The ones I prefer are blue.

Mary Anne's sweet heart blossoms
With sweetness bees go after.
She's a treasured friend of mine.
Healing I find her laughter.

Roses are known for beauty
Mary Anne's heart for its love.
It is sweeter than lilacs
And more gentle than a dove.

She has hair that is brunette
Of coiffures she has no need.
Her heart, I highly treasure
Close to Christ, me, she does lead.

With the sunshine of her heart
Warming hearts she makes an art.

A Pillow Fight In Heaven
Snow clouds are angel pillows,
Angels throw about the sky.
When snow clouds hit the angels,
The air snowflakes beautify.

If the fight should continue,
To go on throughout the night,
People may wake up to see,
An awesome sight of delight.

If it snows throughout the night,
Will fighting pillows run out?
To make the fight continue
Will angels for snow clouds scout?

The weather is now warmer,
Close to thirty three degrees.
As snowflakes make their way down,
Will they thaw but then refreeze?

Will the wind twirl the snowflakes,
Until there are snow drifts high?
Will the snow drifts start to melt,
Should the angels start to cry?

Tire Tracks
On roads cars are traveling,
Out west a blizzard draws near;
With it a white wonderland
That will make cars hard to steer.

The snow is full of tire tracks,
On streets and highways they're seen.
The blizzard as it comes in,
Douses sky with flakes pristine.

Roads have snow five inches high,
Snow tracks, flakes now start to fill;
From the blizzard taking place,
Landing on road, plain, and hill.

Will the side streets get salted,
When the salt trucks get sent out?
Not enough salt is stockpiled
To be put on every route.

When traffic comes to a halt,
The snowflakes white and pristine;
Keep landing on the tire tracks,
Until they no more are seen.

Poison Ivy
Poison ivy is despised,
Welcomed is Mary Anne's heart.
It brings needed, bright sunshine,
Which in my life does impart.

Poison ivy has three leaves.
It can make life hard to live.
It's what I can do without,
Not so kindness that she'll give.

Poison ivy when spreading,
Is real hard to get rid of.
Her heart, I don't want to lose,
Because it's so full of  love.

Poison ivy is painful,
And in rashes it puts me;
Not so, Mary Anne's sweet heart,
Comforting with much beauty.

Have Mercy On Me Jesus
Have mercy on me, Jesus,
Your light in dark times show me.
When I find life hard to live,
My crosses help me carry.

Help me be good to others,
By good things I say and do;
Help me be like you Jesus,
And your Blessed Mother too.

Jesus, help me not be blind,
Help me see how I should live;
At times when people hurt me,
Love in return help me give.

From your holy Sacred Heart,
Into my heart your love bring;
Give me strength to be like you,
With a heart that is loving.

Have mercy on me Jesus,
Good in others help me find.
Give my heart the strength to love,
To others help me be kind.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary
Give us, perpetual love.
Ask Christ to show his mercy,
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove.

Misfortunes and privations,
That we encounter in life;
Help us in these trying times
When we find them filled with strife.

Help us to know what to do,
So hardened our hearts won't be;
Show us how we are to love,
So we'll have hearts truly free.

We all have our sufferings,
Some draw us close to your Son.
The ones that we should accept,
Show us how it's to be done.

Blessed Mother Help Me Live
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Motherly advice give me,
That is pleasing to Jesus,
Mother, each day help me see.      

Mother, help me not worry,
What others may think of me;
Help me to have peace of mind,
And a heart for love's beauty.

At times when life has me down,
Lift me up with love and care.  
When I need your help Mother,
Close to me then be there.
Cherry buds are opening,
When light from your smiles is near.
Your sunshine they're in need of.
They lean toward your heart dear.

When the cherry trees blossom,
The trees are big ***** of white;
When winds bequeath their petals,
There is a sight of delight.

Although it's not a blizzard,
Profuse petals from the trees,
Are not precipitation,  
They won't thaw, but eyes they'll seize.

Open buds of cherry trees,
Is a grand sight that does please.

Stars Took Me To Heaven
The stars took me to heaven,
Each a step I had to climb.
And as I made my way there,
I had then found how blessed I'm.

Entering The Pearly Gates,
St. Peter stopped and told me,
You can visit but not stay,
As God has a plan for thee.

At the appropriate time,
He will tell you what to do.
Happy He wants you to be.
Listen when He's calling you.

There's news all over heaven,
Of what the future may hold,
About your friend, Mary Anne,
And hearts she'll bring to God's fold.

The plans that God has for her,
I hope soon you will know too.
She's someone very special,
To her heart, yours is drawn to.

The stars took me to heaven.
The angels brought me to earth.
Each time I get to see her,
I see all the more her worth.
It was on St. Pat's Day night,
Green light was seen in the  sky.
Stars weren't the main attraction,
Do you know the reason why?

Giant shamrocks in the sky,
Had made the stars appear wee.
When your smiles had reached them,
They then shone with much beauty.

Gold and bright light from your heart,
Brightly had ricocheted there;
As far as the eyes could see,
Gold flakes floated everywhere.


Shamrocks out on St. Pat's night,
Filled the sky with sheer delight.

More than pirates treasure gold,
I treasure love in your heart.
Your heart sunny and caring,
Makes darkness in life depart.

Is your heart an emerald
That's sparkling with green beauty?
It has a core of pure gold.
Your soul is purer I see.      

I find it understanding,
And much sweeter than honey;
Even during dreary days,
It makes life very sunny.

An interesting painting.
I bought today at a store.
When I hung it on the wall,
I saw gold pour on the floor.

Streaming forth from the picture,
That's of your heart, Mary Anne;
I find fourteen karat gold.
It's of you I'm a big fan.

Little Miss Sunshine
There's a little lass I know,
Whose heart beams with bright sunshine.
It's her heart of TLC,
That's cherished like vintage wine.

The sun is a brilliant star,
And is medium in size.
Mary Anne's heart I find big,
And it I surely do prize.

Sunshine from her heart is seen
Radiating beauty bright.
Her heart gives off more sunshine,
Than do heavens stars at night.

Though she's older than I am,
It's her sunshine heart I prize.
It gets sweeter by the day,
And it also gets more wise.

Little Miss Sunshine's bright heart,
I find gentle, warm and kind.
Heaven's stars do not have gold,
But in her heart, it, I find.
