Lord, You Endured Bitter Pains,
Like us while you were on earth:  
Even pains of bitter cold,
Especially after birth.

The pains we go through in life,
Dear Lord, help us to endure:
Help heaven be our final home,
Help our lives on earth be pure.

Lord, you endured bitter pains,
While upon a cross you hung:        
Help us not complain in life,
When we feel in life we're stung.

Bitter pains which we endure
Then your love for us assure.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
To Jesus, there draw us near    
When life's seems overwhelming,    
Peace have Christ  hen make appear.

Dear Mother, help us do God's will,
In all that we say and do,
To God's Commandments, Mother,
Help us be faithful and true.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Give us strength we're in need of:
Like you dear Blessed Mother,
Show us Mother how to love.    

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Close to Jesus help us be.

In times when life seems perplexed,
And we see hope far from near:
By putting our trust in God,
Joys in life we'll see appear.

Life isn't always rosy,
Miserable at times it gets:
When things don't go as we want,
We might haul in empty nets.

God wants us to be happy,
Joys in life He'll help us find:
God wants us to be grateful,      
And to long for peace of mind.

Lead us to heaven, dear, Lord,
By us, there you'll be adored.

Lord, take my life from the earth,
To heaven, Lord, lead me there:
The weight of life’s crosses, Lord,
For me is too much to bear.

Help me carry life's crosses,
When I find life hard to live:
Needed wisdom, I need Lord,
It sufficient to me give.

I ask you Lord to help me,
Especially when there's strife:
Help me Lord to not give up,
Help me when hard I find life.

The virtues, Lord that I need,
To me give them, Lord I plead.

Sufferings
Lord, help me use my sufferings
To free those in purgatory:              
In whatever way they're useful,
To good use, Lord, help them to be.

Sometimes I bring them on myself,
Yet many of them I do not:
Lord, you can bring good out of them,
Many times I've sure got a lot.

Lord, times when  I encounter them,
Help me bear crosses that they bring:
Don't give me more than I can bear,
To you they are my offering.

When sufferings bring me close to you,
I can see that you love me true.

God's unconditional love
Will always be infinite:
It is when he gives us love,    
Hearts then become brightly lit.                  

       Our lives he wants part of them,
He'll forgive sins we regret:
When we do God's will we find            
That we will not need to fret.

God wants to bring us his peace,
And fill our hearts with his love:  
With our lives God wants to help,
Do good we're capable of.

God's love for us will not cease,
On us, his peace he'll release.

To our Lord's Eternal Home,
Blessed Mother, lead me there:
Ask Christ to grant me his peace,
That I need and loving care.

Life's burdens help me to bear,
When in life I find much grief:  
When I'm in need of God's love,
From doubt, Mother, grant relief.

Things that God has made on earth,    
Help me notice their beauty:
Draw me close to Christ your Son,
And help me draw close to thee.      


When life's trials I find rough,
Give me Mother, love enough.

I love how your eyes sparkle,
Like emeralds are meant to:
I love how you light my heart,  
And I am so glad you do.

It is your sweet, tender care,
That does make my heart unlock.
Your heart does much more healing,    
Even than the herb burdock.            

You're a star without a doubt,
Brighter than the stars above:
Cast thy starlight upon me,
Caring friend with heart of love.

You're a jewel of great worth,  
Though you're not one for a ring:
Around my heart your caring love,
Is where I want it to cling.

I love how your eyes sparkle,
Heaven's stars sure love them too:    
Heaven's stars can't shine as bright,
As your eyes but would love to.

Heaven's stars want your eyes there,  
Lovelier heaven would view:
If they could shrink down in size,
They could shine on earth with you.


I love how your eyes sparkle,
They make your face brightly glow:          
Your sparkling eyes have beauty,
Day by day the more does show.      

How your eyes sparkle, I love,  
You they make me think more of.

Tire tracks laden the snow,
Would one in short time see:    
More snow and winter winds,
Where would they then have been?
As the road would look untouched,
A blanket of snow once more.

Sunbeams from your golden heart,
Make the world a brighter place.
There's a radiating glow,
The love in your heart, its base.

Unless stars learn how to shine,
Like you so spectacular,
They'll have, some competition,
As the brightest star you are.

Sweet peas and honeysuckle,
Have a fragrance very sweet:    
But your heart is much sweeter,  
Floral flowers cannot beat.

You're a friend to so many,
A great one of mine you are:
You're renowned in the heavens,
As being the brightest star.

Note how light from your bright smiles.
Makes jewels' prisms' so awesome:
It is your care and kindness,
My heart will always welcome.

Competing with the sunshine,
On your face two lips I find:
Your smiles shine forth very bright,
I love how there, they're designed.

Unlike tulips a flower,
Your lips give each pearly white:
A bit of golden luster,
An awesome sight of delight.

Your heart emits bright gold,
On your lips it is found there:
With gold of fourteen karats,
Gold miners wish they were there,

There they want to stake a claim,
Can't blame them, I'd do the same.

Clouds form in different shapes,
They highlight, nature's landscapes,
Some are dark and some are white,
Times they're gorgeous, what delight.

They make scenes one won't forget,
Peach,, oranges, pinks, and yellows.
The clouds are surely needed,  
Times a masterpiece that glows.

If clouds were not in the sky,
Would our cisterns then go dry?

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Keep an eye on MaryAnne:  
The way you lived in holiness,
Show MaryAnne how she can.

Show Maey Anne how to live,
So she will please God each day:
Help her so she'll know God's will,
With wisdom, please guide her way.

To good use help her use time,
Ask God to give her his peace:  
Help her to find joys in life,
That will increase and not cease,

If her heart does get broken  
Whole ask Christ to make it be:  
Help her so she won't worry,  
And not have anxiety.

When we find life difficult,
Dear Lord, show us how to live:
Help us to be merciful,
Others help us to forgive.

In our hearts, your peace instill,

Fully help us live our lives:
Lord, help us to have no greed,

When life is disturbing, Lord,
Help us be gentle and kind:
When the storms of life are rough,
Peace then Lord, help us to find.

When we find our lives real rough,
Peace Lord help us find enough.

Mary Anne, has a gold heart,    
It's one I find very sweet:                              
She means very much to me,          
Her I sure do love to meet.              

Hawaii has its sugar cane,              
Uvalde has much honey:            
She's sweeter than both of them,
And she makes each day sunny.          


Fushia blooms are very sweet,     
For perfume they are renowned  
Mary Anne's heart is well known,      
Her love in hearts does abound.

It is when there is a drought,    
Many plants then wilt and fade:    
Unlike plants during a drought,
Lively Mary Anne will stay.

She is that señorita,        
Who has a heart one of gold:      
Her heart is warm and caring,
And it never does grow cold.

If I'd visit Hawaii
And in Mizzou' she would be:    
There too I wish I would be,                
So that her then I could see.

But it's not as sweet as you:
You are sweeter than honey                
To you I'm always drawn to.

You are a senorita,
Who has a heart one of gold:
You are a treasured angel,
Your heart is one never cold.

If I'd move to Hawaii
I sure wish you would come there:
Your heart thar's full of sunshine,
Its light there will always bear.

More renowned than sugar cane
Is your heart that I'll retain.

Lord, when I'm in need of help,
Graciously give it I plead:
Give me strength to carry on,
And give me what most I need.

You know what I want the most,
And what I'm most in need of:
What you decide to give me,
Give to me, at least your love.

Dear Lord, help me be loving,
To everyone that I meet:
And not be wishy-washy,
My love make strong like concrete,

Lord, make my heart attractive,
And show me how I should live.
