Wisterias
Wisterias' sweet flowers,
Know how to delight the nose.
Their flowers have a fragrance,
Sweeter than most any rose.

Wisteria are renowned,              
For beautiful purple blooms.
They're appealing to the eyes,
And a natural perfume.

When on trees they are blooming,
With beauty they robe the trees;
Emitting a sweet fragrance,
That will draw in many bees.

Nectar from its blooming vine,
Has sweetness that's mighty fine.
That would be
Show us how we are to love,
Dear Blessed Mother Mary;
Ask Christ to help us in need,
When we've crosses to carry.

Help us to be more like you.
God's will help us to pursue;          
To God help us draw close,
In all that we say and do.

In life when we need help most.
Ask Jesus to give us it.
Our lives help us live for God,
Help us do good and not quit.

Mother, help us be loving.
Peace in life help us to find;
When others are mean to us,
Show us how we can be kind.

Mary Anne, you're an angel,
I've heard that wings you possess;
You lift me up in hard times,
And help me find happiness.

When it is time for takeoff,
In my heart remains your care.
You bring hope into my life,
When I need you, you are there.

Sunshine I find in your heart,
Its warmth never has an end.
My heart searched for TLC,
And found it in your heart, friend.

You're an angel who has wings,
Who makes my smiles brightly glow;
Times when my heart is broken,
Patches, there your love does sew.

Sure as  blizzards do have snow,
My love for you friend does grow,
My heart is lit by your smiles,
Making my face brightly glow.

Mary Anne, you're an angel,
With a loving heart of care.
My heart has a good runway,
You can taxi your love there.

Mary Anne's Sunshine Smiles
Mary Anne's bright, dazzling, smiles,
Flower buds can open wide.
Her smiles bring warmth in my heart,
When her sunshine comes inside.

The cold is more bearable,
With warmth of her smiles bright;
The way in which they stand out,
Makes dark times seem very bright.

Mary Anne's dynamic smiles,
Aren't just known for their sunshine.
They sure know how to lift hearts,
One of these hearts sure is mine.

They come from her heart of gold,
They're welcomed but never sold.

Navel Oranges
Sweetness of navel oranges,
To the taste buds bring delight.
They're a snack that's delicious,
From the first to the last bite.

When they are used for O J,
Orange juice then is very sweet.
Oranges lose vitamin C,
When taken with what has heat.

Inside the Christmas stocking,
One of them then can be found.
They're in the supermarket,
And sell well the whole year round.

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.

Which heaven's stars can't come par.

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
