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 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,
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.

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.

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.

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.

Blessed Mother, help me live,
A life of humility.
Each day help me do God's will,
That will help me to be free.

When I find life at its worst,
Humble, Mother help me be.
The road that leads to heaven,
Help me to follow closely.

Close to God,Mother, draw me.
Help me do things I should do.
Throughout all my days on earth,
Holiness help me pursue.

In my life help me to find,
How I'm able to be kind.

Happy birthday, Mary Anne,
With your love my heart you crown.
Your beauty is highlighted,
With your blue eyes and hair brown.

I hope you find your birthday,
Filled with tranquil peace and joy.
When it comes to hearts that love,
Your heart is the real McCoy.

Fourteen karat flakes of gold,
From your smiles fall to the ground.
What I treasure in your heart,
Is the love there that is found.

You're a friend I sure care for.
Happy birthday, Mary Anne.
Keep filling hearts with sunshine,
And being sweet as you can.

For good things you give us Lord,
We give you our gratitude;
For our clothing and shelter,
And also our daily food.

For all the plants and flowers,
And the good things that they do;
And for precipitation,
In forms of rain, snow, and dew.

We thank you Lord for the moon,
That helps us to see at night;
For the star we call the sun,
That gives us much warmth and light.

We thank you Lord for neighbors,
Whose hearts our love we can give.
We thank you Lord for courage,
That will help us better live.

Mary Anne's heart of beauty,
Is friendly with TLC.
I admire her loving heart.
Her friend I sure like to be.  

When the stars come out at night,
They're in search of her heart's gold,
That imparts light like sunshine,
They gladly accept I'm told.

Should the stars ever go  out,
She'd impart her sunshine there,
Reviving the stars' beauty,
And giving warmth it does bear.

Her heart full of TLC,
Means so very much to me.
