Estrellas
As the stars come out at night,
At first found are very few.
The darker that the night gets,
They'll be seen in clearer view.

In yellow, red, red, white or blue,
Is the color of each star.
The light that they've given off,
Is seen from light years afar.

Many make constellations,
That are viewed on earth by us,
With the use of telescopes,
Star viewing apparatus.

Flower Petals' Beauty
As the sunshine shone brightly,
Flower buds became unfurled.    
In times winds will whip through trees,
Petals to ground will have whirled.

Should the petals be enough,
A carpet on ground they'll make.
Maybe there'll be plush walking,
Their beauty eyes will awake.

There will be a sweet fragrance,
Where sweet flowers are blooming.
Noses will search out sweetness,
As air  they'll be perfuming.

Guide Me Holy Spirit
In my life, Holy Spirit,
Guidance that I'm in need of;
Give it to me everyday,
And help me know how to love.

Give me the strength and courage,
To stand up for what is right.
When life is full of darkness,
Holy Spirit bring your Light.

When I find life hard to live,
During such times, then, help me,
Live life with integrity,
With heaven my destiny.

That to me you always give.

You always put to good use.

Life is easier to live.
Your heart shines brighter than lamps,          
And brilliant light it does give.

And more gentle than a dove.

Your smiles sure are outstanding.
They're lit by your heart of care.

Who has a heart very rare.

Much sweeter than hyacinths,
Is the heart of Mary Ann.

Of her smiles I'm a big fan.

A Natural Escape
From monotonies of life,
An escape at times we need;
An escape at Shaw's Garden,
Will be of much help indeed.

A visit in the springtime,
When flowering trees there bloom,
Capture the eyes and calm them,
Many release sweet perfume.

Folks sure find Shaw's Garden is
A real lovely place to be.
It's a great place for a stroll,
To enjoy nature's beauty.

Bonfire
We came here on a hayride,
To have a campfire and fun;
We will have sung many songs,
Before evening is done.

For starting a good bonfire,
Cedar kindling works real well.
When it is in a bonfire,
Silence it sure can dispel.

Over fire we cooked hot dogs,
And also big marshmallows;
Colored ones for this bonfire,
Are the marshmallows we chose.

After we will douse each flame,
To the hay wagon we'll aim.

Dear Lord, give me the wisdom,
That is needed to be wise.
Virtues I need to live by,
Don't let sin come to disguise.

Lord, help my heart be caring,
Also help my heart be kind.
The joys that are camouflaged,
In clear sight, them, help me find.

Loving, help my heart to be,
Help me know how I should live,
At times when I'm weak in life,
Give me the strength to forgive.

Understanding help me be,
Lord, give my heart sturdiness.
Help me, Lord, always strive for,
Holiness and gentleness.

Blessed Mother, We Need You
We need your motherly love,
Dear Blessed Mother Mary;
At times when we need your help,
Please respond without tarry.

We ask you, Mother, to be,
Of help in doing God's will.
Speak for us on our behalf,
So peace in our hearts He'll fill.

Be with us Blessed Mother,
Heaven help us search and find;
Like you when you were on earth,
Help us Mother to be kind.

Help us be obedient,
To God draw us closer near;
For lives full of holiness,
Help us always persevere.

When we find life burdensome,
Help us not give up on life.
Help us to be courageous,
When we find life full of strife.
Lord, bestow your grace on me,
When my life with strife I find;
Help me to love my neighbors,                
And help me find peace of mind.

Lord, help me to avoid sin,
So I'm able to be free;
The good that is in others,
Help me be able to see.

At times when I'm insulted,  
Help me then respond with care;
Life's crosses I encounter,
Dear Lord, them, help me to bear.

Lord, bestow your peace on me,
So I can live happily.

Brighter than stars of heaven,
IAs your heart's awesome beauty.
Your heart is highly treasured,
And it means so much to me.

I would find a fragrance sweet,  
One that's sweeter than lilacs,    
And real difficult to beat.          

If by chance stars in heaven,
Would somehow come to go out,
With the brightness of your smiles,
You'd ignite them there's no doubt.

I thank the good Lord above,
For He helped me to meet you;
Because you are in the world,
Life's joys I find are not few.

When you are on the seashore,
Gold that's from your every smile,
Makes its way upon the sand,
Where then it does start to pile.
