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.

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,

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.

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.
