When the wheat from fields are reaped,  
There's much work yet to be done.
Stalks are then cut and harrowed,
Then they're dried by wind and sun.

The work done by the bailer,
Compacts straw that's in furrows,
After twine tightens the straw,
Each bale off the baler goes.

Today lets forget the gym,    
It's the day that we make straw.
It's time to work our muscles.
From rest it's time to withdraw.

There'll be work on the trailer,  
And there'll be work on the field.
The work is more exhausting,        
Where the wheat had a good field.

Bales are brought to the trailer,    
Where they're thrown then stacked on it.
The work is sure exhausting,
But its not yet time to quit.

Byhe bale escalator, 
To the barn times bales are brought.
When there's no escalator,
We then work more than we ought.

Stacking bales inside the barn,  
Laborious it's there too;
When the bales are put away,
To the kitchen we head to.

On this St. Patrick's Day night,
Green light is seen in the sky.
Stars aren't the main attraction.
Do you know the reason why?

Big shamrocks are in the sky,          
Making stars appear real wee;
Light up like bright emeralds,           
What an awesome sight they be.

When your smiles ricochet there,
They bring gold forth from your heart.
The gold that surrounds shamrocks,
Is a piece of Irish art.

Shamrocks out on St, Pat's night,
Fill the sky with sheer delight.

Mary Anne, your gentle heart,
I'm very attracted to.
It's the TLC in it,
That my heart sure does pursue.

I find it understanding.
Your friendship I treasure dear.
When I am in your presence,
Much sunshine I find appear.

I have no fear of darkness,
When your sunny heart is near.
Your heart sparkles with brightness,
And also brings my heart cheer.

Love in your heart is profuse.
To the truth you are not blind.

And it sure is very kind.

Your love chips at your heart's gold,
Which it sends to your smiles bright,
No wonder your smiles I prize,
And find in them much delight.

Your heart of golden sunshine,
It's love I find so immense.
It I always find thoughtful.
It's one that has common sense.

We can carry life's crosses,
When we have help from the Lord.
We should live as God wants us,
God's help should not be ignored.

God wants us all to have peace.
And it,  He will help us find.
Life's crosses will get lighter,
And we'll find more peace of mind.

When we live as He wants us,
He will help us through each day.
Helping with the crosses weight,
Through the day with us He'll stay.

I found a cute teddy bear.
A home he was in need of.
Would you like to see my friend?
She has a heart full of love.

This talking bear said to me,
Buy me and to her take me.
When I gave the bear to her,
She smiled very happily.

You knew what I would ask for,
Tell me if you've ESP.
She asked me , what is his name?
UI said his name is ''Honey''.

I made a hit Saint Val's Day,
At my friend's house, now he'll stay.

Roses make lovely bouquets,
To give to someone who's dear.
Roses are lovely flowers,
That bloom most months of the year.

Roses are known for beauty,
Some are known for sweetness too.
When roses are in bouquets,
They highlight words,'' I love you.''

Chocolates go well with roses,
They're nice gifts for St. Val's Day;
Roses touch one's emotions,    
In a real delightful way.

Lord, help me so I don't worry,
What other people think of me.
Help me live as you want me to.
With a wise heart, help me to see.

When I'm looked down on by others,
For living as you want me to,
Help me to stay faithful to you.
Good acts help me show my life through.

When I find life is not rosy,
And I find life is hard to live,
Give me the strength to carry on,
Lord, others, help me to forgive,
And I find life is hard to live,

Lord, what I need to be happy,
Clearly .this, Lord, help me to know.
Help me to know how to serve you.
In holiness, help me to grow.

Help me to serve you faithfully,
In my life, help me keep you first.
Thank you, Lord, for your Living Word.
It's for your Living Word I thirst.

Your kaleidoscopic smiles,
Have received gold from your heart,
An awesome sight of beauty,
And a marveled work of art.

your kaleidoscopic smiles,
Are moved with your care and love,
So that your smiles sparkle,
And are thought so highly of.

It is your understanding,
Also your care and concern,  
That adds pizazz to your heart.
For your bright smiles, friend, I yearn.

Your kaleidoscopic smiles,
Worldwide they're highly renowned.
They spew in air like lava,
With their sweetness that's profound.

This poem is one tailored,
With words without using thread.
Many good things about you,                     
There was not time to be said.

In life's difficult moments,
We are most in need of hope.
It's life's needed kindling spark.
Trusting in God helps us cope.

Times in life when life gets hard,
And so much in life seems lost,
Recall why we're on earth here,
And the past bridges we've crossed.

New good bridges are sturdy.
Some bridges have creaked and swayed,
While some bridges have toppled,
Some replaced with ones well made.

Passing over life's bridges,
With Christ the good Carpenter,
Over the bridge to heaven,
With him, there we can enter.

You're a real treasured friend to me,
With happiness my life you fill.
My heart when I needs bright sunshine,
In my heart, there, it you instill.

When the sun's dust is lit up by,
The positively charged atoms,
There's an incredible light show,
Most everybody sure welcomes.

The Auora borealis,
Is this bright heavenly light show.
Friend, I find your heart much brighter,
And purer than a pristine snow.

The Auora borealis,
Is a beautiful sight to see.
Mary Anne, it's your awesome smiles,
That I find even more lovely.

You have a heart with a gold core.
On your heart  are diamond chips.
Your heart is sure bright with sunshine,
Even in a solar eclipse.

Your heart has a core of pure gold,
Worth much more than Spanish doubloons.
It is your heart that lifts me up,
Higher than all hot air balloons.

Diamonds are priceless jewels,
And can sparkle bright with sunlight,
But can't outshine your lovely smiles.
In them, friend, I take great delight.

When I find life is dismal,
And I need some sunshine bright
I look for Mary Anne's heart,
That is sunny day and night.

Mary Anne is a great friend,
With brunette hair and eyes blue
Her heart is warm and caring,
No wonder it I pursue.

She is a treasured angel,
And her heart's wealth can't be bought.
Her heart is warm and gentle,
Sunshine in my heart she's brought.

With Mary Anne as my friend,
I find my heart is content.
Being real kind and thoughtful,
Is Mary Anne's heart's intent.

Her smiles when they ricochet,
Can spin stars that are above.
No wonder they're so renowned,
And always them I think of.

An aromatic sweetness.
When linden trees are in bloom,
Can be easily noticed,
For their prestigious perfume.

Linden flowers are real sweet,
And draw in the honeybees.
Mary Anne's heart is sweeter,
My heart, with her care, she'll seize .  

To get nearer to her heart,
Branches get help from a breeze.
Her heart shines bright like a star,  
And she does it so with ease.            

When linden trees are blooming,
Profuse sweetness is around.
It's a heavenly fragrance
Its sweetness is sure profound.

Bright as the heart of Mary Anne,
Linden blooms would like to be.
They would shine bright like bright stars,
This sight I'd sure like to see.

Mary Anne's heart has much beauty.
Floral flowers would like to see,
Her sweet heart there in their presence,
With its rays that are so sunny.

If Mary Anne's heart could be in,
A bouquet of real sweet flowers,
Her heart would make them much sweeter,
With the sweetness her heart showers.

Her heart is sweeter than lilacs,
And hyacinths when they're in bloom.
Her heart possesses a sweetness,
Excelling flowers sweet perfume.

She has a heart that I cherish.
It's understanding and does care.
Her heart has much lovingkindness,
And love profuse her heart does bear.

Not all bouquets have real flowers,
Like the one found in my friend's heart.
Her heart's virtues and its sunshine,
Make a bouquet that is an art.

Blessed Mother, I've this request,
That you'll watch over Mary Anne.
Please give to her your Mother's love.
Please help her as much as you can.

Help my gentle friend, Mary Anne,
Live in holiness everyday.
Help her live her life for Jesus.
Help her find happiness I pray.

Help her to show good examples,
Daily by the way she does live.
Help Mary Anne's outlook on life,
Be an outlook that's positive.

This is one of the poems that got knocked off my list  from  2017 and part of 2018.
I touched this up April 2,2023.

Friend, your heart is amazing.
The love it has is immense.
When your heart is not nearby,
I sure do feel its absence.

Sweet flowers you make sweeter,
Those that are not sweet you make.
Flowers that are in slumber,
Your heart's sunshine does awake.

Aurora borealis,
Is in need of one more star.
Your name has been suggested,
For shining bright from afar.

Your heart is highly renowned.
With your love my heart you've crowned.

When people try to rile me,
Patient then Lord help me be.
When others treat ne with hate,
Help me show them love kindly.

In life, Lord, help me find joy.
Help me do your will with zeal.  
My love to others help me show,
So that it I can't conceal.

Help me, Lord, have self-control.
In all that I say and do.
Help me think before I act,
And live as you call me to.

The bright sunshine of your heart,
And your smiles with flakes of gold,
Make you very outstanding.
You have a heart warm, not cold.

Why spend time picking up cans,
When your smiles are on the ground?
Your smiles I value much more,
Not just for their gold renowned.    

Their warmth and sunshine I prize
Each smile means so much to me;
Like your heart's core of gold,
Your smiles are ones of beauty.

You give off many of them.    
They shine like your sunshine heart.
I love how they shine brightly.
Each one is a work of art.

I'll leave cans for the can man,
And share your smiles with the poor.
The more I will give away,
You will give me many more.

Having you as a good friend,
I know I am really blessed.
Your heart's love and TLC,
My heart, they sure have impressed

Your heart's love can draw me in,
As quicksand can draw things under.
How you stay in good spirits,
In life's hard times I wonder.

Having a friend such as you,
Helps me know how much I'm blessed.
When life appears somewhat dark,
For your heart I need no quest.

Your heart shines so brilliantly,
Because it's full of sunshine.
Your love flows into my heart,
More prized than a vintage wine.

To your heart your love draws me,
To its gold core of beauty.

Snowflakes like cherry petals,
Can flutter very gently,
Vividly waltzing in air,
Each flake with unique beauty.

Snowflakes when in their splendor,
Let the sun make its way through.
Kaleidoscopic beauty
Imparts flakes with royal hue.

Mary Anne, you are a star.        
Your heart sure does understand.    
Your heart keeps getting bigger,      
As your love makes it expand.    

In your heart, sweetness I find,    
Profuse each and everyday.
When I'm in need of a friend,
I find you not far away.    

Your heart is a rare treasure,
Worth much more than a prized pearl.
I'm very blessed knowing you.
Your heart's beauty does unfurl.          

Unlike your warm gentle heart,
Heaven's stars are way  too hot.  
You are the star of my heart,
For you, friend, I care a lot.

Friend, I treasure your virtues,          
Your patience, hope, and your love.
Your heart brings to mine sunshine,  
Of you I think highly of.

During sunrise this morning,
Clouds in bright colors were seen.
Some clouds were pink and peachy,
With a touch of orange  between.

This must have been quite a sight,
Of it my friend told me of.
She said the clouds were sailing,
As they traveled high above.

Through the clouds sunlight made way,
Making them much brighter glow.
This sunrise was sure awesome,
And across the sky did go.
