When black locusts are in bloom,
Their sweet blooms are prolific.
When it comes to sweet flowers,
They sure are ones terrific.

Black locust flowers are sweet.
When they grow wild they are free.
Due to the trees' profuse thorns,
Picking them is not easy.

Their fragrance can be carried,
By the wind from blocks away.
It's when their blooms start to fade,                                                  
Their fragrance we wish would stay.

Though their blooms will disappear,
We'll yearn their return next year.
When the orange groves are blooming,
Petals sweet then fill the air.
From white blooms then that open,
Small clinging oranges they'll bear.

What kind of light will they reach for?
Will they search for the sun's light?
If you were in the grove, Honey,
Your heart would shine very bright.

The sunshine from your sweet heart,
That your heart is so full of,
Trees would lean in search of it,
And the warmth of your heart's love.

When the orange trees are blooming,
Your sunshine they're consuming.

Apple Flowers
It was on blooming flowers,
On apple trees one could see,
Eyes gazing on their beauty,
That was a sight heavenly.

As a windstorm made its way,
Through trees petals it did strew,
Many petals filled the air,
But those then on trees were few.

To the ground they made their way,
The ground then had become white;
The ground became a carpet,
In which people took delight.

With apple blossoms blooming,
The air they'd been perfuming.
Your smiles sure make the moon shine,
Of revenuers beware;
Although there's no alcohol,
But sunshine that's from your care.

It'swhen you make the moon shine,
It is seen from far away;
It shines forth  with a brilliance,
As it shines in bright array.

Your smiles make a rare moonshine,
That.'s stored on a power grid,
That can be found on gas cars,
Equipped as solar hybrid.

Your smiles sure make the cars go,
As moonshine from your smiles flow.

Dear, Blessed Mother Mary,
Your sweet, tender love, us, give.
Show us how we are to love,
In peace, show us how to live.

Worldly things, help us not seek,
If from God they make us stray.
Draw us close to God each day,
And help us know how to pray.    

Help us to pursue wisdom,
Blessed Mother dressed in blue;
When we confront life's trials,
Through life's rough times help us through.

Show us how we're to replace,
hate with love, that we'll embrace.
ear Blessed Mother Mary,
When God was making flowers,
Did he then have you in mind?
He knew someday I'd meet you,
And zero in your heart kind.

When God made you a flower,    
Before your heart came to be,
At the time of conception,
Your  DNA he gave thee.

It gave you humanity,
No matter how small you were;
Time would not change who you are,
A scientific fact for sure.

You remained the same person.
In time you grew up in size.
In time I got to know you.
It is your friendship I prize.

Your heart can surely blossom,
More than floral flowers can.
Your heart has so much beauty,
That I treasure Mary Anne.
And zero in

For bouquets these blooms kids chose.

In the summer bees swarm there,
To get their share of nectar,
That sweet clover blooms do bear.

God's guidance we should ask for,
Not just when troubles arise.              
God wants us truly happy,
This we ought to realize.

God doesn't want us to have,
The things that cause us to sin.
We are called to live holy,
In his grace He wants us in.

If in life we're to succeed ,
In a spiritual way,
God's ways we need as our guide,
And strength we get when we pray.

The Ten Commandments are the signs,
That we find on heaven's road,
Help we need to reach heaven,
Us, God's Commandments will goad.

Give us guidance, Lord, we need,
To find peace while we're on earth.
Our love for you and others,
Help us never have a dearth.

A Heavenly Pillow Fight
Duck down profuse fills the sky,
When with pillows angels fight.
It's the next best thing next to snow.
It can happen day or night.

Duck down ***** do not stick well,    
When hit with one they don't hurt.  
The ground is a white carpet,
When down lands on grass and dirt.

A pillow fight in heaven,
Fills the sky with beauty white;
As the duck down floats about,
It's a sight of much delight.

A pillow fight in heaven,
Ought to happen more often.

Snow Drops
In the air each snowflake drops.  
Each flake is white and unique.
Coming down in a blizzard,
It then caps the mountain peak.

The snow looks very lovely.
Black ice, lovely, sure is not.
When there's a severe blizzard,
Snowflakes profuse are a lot.

When weather is bitter cold,
Comfort is not to be had,
When winter has frigid winds,
I won't be one who is glad.

I'll hibernate like a bear,
When the snow drops from the air.

Due to brightness of your love.

My angelic caring friend.
