Dear Mother of Jesus Christ,
Close to Jesus help me stay.
God's will, Mother, help me do.
Guide me and show me the way.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
When your help I'm in need of,
Bestow on me your wisdom,
And bountifully your love.

Help my heart be forgiving.
Grudges help me never hold.
Warm my heart with your sweet love.
Never let my heart get cold.

To Jesus' heart draw me close.
This request I ask of thee.
Help me daily Mother dear,
To live a life that's holy.

The river had been rising.
It is now close to flood stage.
There's  a need for sandbaggers.
Workers of most every age.

With the water pipes breaking,
With weather that's near zero,
The work will be bone chilling,
What people will want to go?

Some kids had a lucky hat.
Snowmen, they started to make.
Sandbagging was sure in need.
Sandbags would be no mistake.

Though snowmen could not throw bags,
Or they would be washed away.
They switched with those filling bags,
More men could throw bags that way.

Where the bags were being filled,
It was near twenty below,
And also a cold wind chill ,
And a blizzard spewing snow.

When they passed out free coffee,
Snowmen said that's very nice.
If we were to drink coffee,
We would soon be turned to ice.

With ease we'll take this weather.
Brave, you humans sure must be.
We're glad to be of some help.
How frozen you are we see.

Dear God, I'm very grateful,
For my good friend, Mary Anne,
Whose heart each day gets bigger,
As her love makes it expand.

Help her heart remain caring,
Help her keep it warm and kind.
Her heart, Lord, keep watch over.
Everyday peace help her find.

Stars in heaven are brilliant,
And put out much intense heat.
Mary Anne is a rare star,
Having a heart very sweet.

When stars go out in heaven,
With more light they are full of;
When her love ignites each star,
It's done peaceful like a dove.

I'm grateful, Lord, for my friend.
She is my heart's treasured guest;
Because she's a friend of mine,
I know I am truly blessed.

When the weather dips low,
And the winds are biting cold,
People wear scarves and ear muffs,
All ages both young and old.

When weather is bitter cold,
People often stoke the fires,
When stuck on the solid ice,
Motors grind from spinning tires.

When weather is bitter cold,
It's not fit for man or beast.
A time for being snowbound,
When the snowfall is increased.

I hope on this Christmas day,
Joys profuse will come our way;
And that we will find blessings,
And sunshine to warm the day.

When we spend time with loved ones,    
A memory we will make.
When we're at Christmas  dinner,
Our appetites will partake.

Will light of the Christmas star,
Warm the manger that's below,
Underneath the Christmas star?
Will the magi, it, follow?

A birthday gift for Jesus,
Is to do his Father's will;
A gift appreciated.
Joys in Jesus' heart will fill.

The limbs of weeping willows,
Hang over the redbud trees.
Pink flowers on the redbuds,
Are ones that are real beauties.

As gray clouds are divided,
The  sunlight, makes its way through;
The leaves then lean toward it,
As nature intends them to.

As wind whips limbs and branches,
Redbud petals whirl in air,
The ground will have  a carpet,
Of pink near the village square.

Jesus, help me to serve You.
Life's crosses help me to bear.
Help me carry life's crosses,
Their weight, Lord, with me do share.

Jesus, be my guiding Light,
When I'm lost show me the way.
Help me so I will not sin,
In your grace help me to stay.

Jesus, when I am temped,
Give me the strength that I need,
So I will not commit sin,
Jesus, this request  I plead.

When life is full of sorrows,
During moments such as these,
Help me then to surrender,
My life so as to please thee.

Lilacs are real sweet flowers,
In lavender, white and blue.
There are some other colors.
These three will often do.

When I am in their presence,
There's a touch of paradise.
They're renowned for their beauty,
And their sweetness that bees prize.

Lilacs have real small flowers.
Their sweetness makes up for size.
For sweetness they're world-renowned,
When their fragrance fills the skies.

When lilacs are in full bloom,
The air is full of sweet perfume.

How can I be happiest,
While on earth my life I live.
Lord, help me and show my heart,
How to love and to forgive.

Help me so I'm not afraid,
Of what others think of me.
Help me to be courageous,
And live so as to please Thee.

I know you want me happy.
Happiness, Lord, help me find.
Help me to love my neighbors.
Lord, show me how to be kind.

It's when I love my neighbors,
I also show love for you.
Help my heart, Lord, to be loving,
In all that I say and do.

Thanks, Lord for your Commandments,
That help us to live in peace.
And help us to show concern,
For others so joys increase.

Thanks for the gift of prudence,
That wise helps us to become,
To live the way you want us,
For the good of your Kingdom.

Thanks, Lord, for the things we need,
To heal our hearts when they're ill.
In hearts when they're violent,  
Your peace in them, Lord instill.

When your help we're in need of,
Give it to us with your love.

At times when I am sick, Lord
And I find myself in pain,
Help me to find the help I need,
Less weight, Lord, help me gain.

Addictions help me to break,
That cause my health to be weak.
Help me find a good diet,
That will help me look less bleak.

Help me spiritually,
So better my health will be.
My physical health is stronger,
When my soul is one healthy.

When honeysuckle flower buds,  
Open and they're in full bloom,
There's a sweetness that's delightful,
That is a treasured sweet perfume.

It is a type of ground cover.  
During droughts it makes green the ground.
It sure is a hardy flower,
On many fences it is found.    

Honeysuckle's ability,  
To survive the north's frigid cold,
Makes it a flower real hardy,        
But it is seldom cut then sold.

Some people buy it for their place.  
By some folks it's a **** despised.
When it is given by children,
By mothers, it is highly prized.

Some kinds of honeysuckle,
With gorgeous flowers strike the eyes.
Having beauty that's astounding,
And a sweetness that the bees prize.

From snow clouds on St. Val's Say,
Came a real rare sight to see.
Pristine, white, heart shaped snowflakes,
Floated in air graciously.

The sky was a big ballroom.
Millions of flakes could be found.
It was before they did land,
We could see them waltz around.

The snow tufts found on branches,
Had weighed down the trees of pine.
As the sun shone on the drifts,
They sparkled and bright did shine.

Heart shaped flakes that filled the air,
Made their way on people's hair.

When I find life hard to live,
Lord, during times such as these,
Give me the needed insight,
To know how you I can please.

When I find life disturbing,
And temptations attack me,
Lord, help my heart to be pure.
Peace of mind, Lord, please give me.

When I'm hated by others,
To them, love, help me return.
What you're calling me to do,
This, Lord, help me to discern.

Help me, Lord, so I'll be just.
In you, help me put my trust.

When are citrus the sweetest?
It's when they receive bright light,
Coming from Mary Anne's heart,
To make their sweetness just right.

Florida's groves are waiting,
For visits from Mary Anne.
They need her heart's bright sunshine,
To shine as bright as it can.

When Mary Anne takes visits,
Her, everyone wants to meet,
Because she's kind and caring,
With a loving heart so sweet.

She likes it in Missouri.
That's where her family lives.
A kind and caring howdy,
To people she meets she gives.

Should she go to Florida,
Many things she would visit.
She surely would be noticed,
With her smiles so brightly lit.

Florida wants her visits,
So it will pay her way down.
As the Florida Orange Queen,
Some year her, one, it will crown.

When I find life in shambles,
And life appears near its worst  
Lord, help me love my neighbors,
And put You in my life first.

Lord, help my heart to open,    
So that love can come inside.
My heart is much like a rosebud.    
Love's light can open it wide.          

Lord, help my heart to endure,
Living ways that do please you.
To your heart, Lord, draw mine close,
Holy, Lord, help me be too.

Shambles don't let my life be.
Help my life to be sturdy.

Help me,dear Lord, soon come to see,
The way, Lord, I can best please Thee.
My heart with faith and love that's pure,
Is what I'll need to find a cure.        
A lack of love  I can't afford.
Heaven, help me seek as reward.
My heart with love have it restored.
Help me live my life for you, Lord.
In my heart there have peace instill,
My heart with joys ,  profusely fill.

Thank you for those who show us love,
What is best for us will think of,
Who show good examples to us,
Lovingly, help, with us will discuss.
Thank you, Lord, for all you've done,  
For sending us Christ, who's your Son.
Thanks for our Thanksgiving feast,
For flavor soon to be released.    
Thank you for this get-together,
And for non-violent weather.      
Thank you, Lord, for our good health,
And for friends who are real wealth.

Thanks, Lord, for the apple trees,
Full of beauty while in bloom.
They are a delightful surprise,
With aromatic perfume.

Blossoms in white, pink, and red,
Depending upon the tree,
Make a treasured, marveled sight,  
Gorgeous and full of beauty,

Thanks, Lord, for their petals,
Like conifer they're renowned,      
As they delight the senses,
With an aroma profound.          

When on ground their petals land,
A plush carpet can be found;
While they are still in the air,
One can see them float around.

As the apples start to form,
Green apples on branches cling.
They're a fruit that's highly prized,
To eat after ripening.

Lord,help me to love my foes.
And pray they'll find peace of mind.
At times when they aren't loving,
To them Lord help me be kind.

When they show bad examples,
Good ones then help me to show.
In their hearts when they're troubled,
Christ-like love help me to sow.

When they try to do what's right,
Sufficient strength, Lord, them give.
A life to you that's pleasing,
Courageously help them live.

Help my foes hearts come to be,
Touched by your love and mercy.



Give them the strength that they need
To help make their lives anew.
Help them, Lord, to do what's right,
And see best how to serve you.

Someday my friends they might be.
Help them, Lord, know what to do.
Blind, help them not be, dear Lord
Help them see how to please you.

When I find my life hard to bear,
Times like this, Lord, show me you care.
Greed, Lord, help me to stay far from.
Generosity I'll welcome.
When in the dark, my life I find,
To the truth, help me not be blind.
Help me so I'll be understood,    
And help me, be good as I should.
Please, help me, Lord, to do your will.
Peace, in my heart, Lord, there instill.
Help me live a life that is fair.
when I find my life hard to bear.

In the shade of a live oak tree,
Gardenia buds are unfurling,
With their aromatic sweetness,
With flowers prized by every girl.
Spanish moss hangs on the branches,
As chayote vines ascend trees limbs ,
As their green fruit  dangles on  limbs
like ornaments on Christmas trees,
Soon to be part of the evening meal,
On the sturdy picnic table,
Under shade of the live oak tree.

When life is a burden, Lord,              
It's during times such as these,  
Help to make my life's yoke light,    
So I can feel more at ease.

When I find life caving in,
And hope seems it's at its end,
Help me, Lord, never give up,        
Peace in my heart, Lord, there send.    

Help me so I won't give up,
When life's problems come my way,
Lord, then give me the wisdom
To know what to do and say.

When a burden I find life,
Help me, Lord, in times of strife.

Numerous as heavens' stars,
And the sand on the seashore,
Are the joys you bring to me,
I'm unable to ignore.

Your heart  of golden sunshine,
In it friend I take delight.
You fill my heart with brightness,
My heart with love you ignite.

Heaven's stars have their beauty,
But they don't have TLC.
You are the star I treasure,
Who means very much to me.

You are a friend very dear,
I treasure throughout each year.

Peony flowers come in,
Colors of red, pink, and white.
They sure are lovely flowers.
In them people take delight.

Their appearance looks much like,
Football mums but they're smaller.
When they're received by someone,
They make one's heart feel taller.

Some of them grow on bushes,
How I wish they grew on trees,
A turbulent breeze with force,
Might help bequeath  peonies.

Most grow off of a rhizome,
Like the ones found near my home.

If in life we're to succeed,
In obtaining peace of mind,
We need to seek good advice,
Which wisdom will help us find.

If we are to become wise,
Wisdom, Lord, help us to find.
Lord, wise help us to become,
For which our hearts are designed.

Give us the needed insight,
To live lives, Lord, that please you.
Help us strive for holiness,
Daily it help us pursue.

Lord, help us not be foolish,
Wise, Lord, help us to become.
Wisdom will help us not sin,
And lead us to your kingdom.

When I'm in need of a friend,
Lord, please send a friend my way
Who will help lift my spirits,
And bring light into my day.

Send someone into my life,        
Whom I'm able to talk to,
Someone who wants what is best
For me and will care like you.

Even if you don't, dear Lord,
You will still be my best friend.
For me you want what is best.
Your will help me understand.

Give me the strength and courage
That I need to persevere.
When life is hard to  cope with,
Times like this, Lord, then be near.

Lord, help us to not worry,
About what might come to be.
Help us put our trust in you,
From worldly things set us free.

Help us know how to deal with,
The troubles in life we find.
To our friends and enemies,
Lord, show us how to be kind.

Give us the strength and courage,
To stand up for what is right,
To live as you want us to,
Lord, give us needed insight.

Lord, with you as our ally,
We can make it through times rough.
Things we need and won't cause harm,
Lord, help us to find enough.

Thanks, Lord, for the flowers,
That bring joy throughout the year.
Many are sold by florists,
And help bring much needed cheer.

Thanks for the honeysuckle,
And the lilacs when in bloom.
They're well known for their sweetness,
Like a delightful perfume.

Thanks, Lord, for mullein flowers,
Well known for treating the ear,
That are seen in abundance,
In the summer of the year.

Thanks, Lord, for the sweet peas,
With tendrils that try to twine,
Around the heart of my friend,
To squeeze her love into mine.

Thanks for all of the roses,  
In yards and the countryside,
With their sweetness and beauty,
As they open their buds wide.

When raindrops turn to snowflakes,
They then float instead of drop.
When a blizzard starts to form,
Snowflakes just don't want to stop.

The weather took a cold dip,      
Making the ponds and lakes freeze;
As snowflakes make their way down,
They make snow tufts on the trees.

Snowflakes land upon the ice.
The ice soon will not be seen;
As moonbeams make their debut,
They make the sight more serene.

When it's snowing on the dell,
Beauty found there sure is swell.

The countryside of Ireland,
Is where Mary Anne does go.
When she vacations Ireland,
With sunshine Ireland does glow.

From her heart of bright sunshine,
Her contagious smiles are lit
Each one is full of beauty,
All of Ireland will admit.

Ireland has its emeralds,
But the jewel that's prized most,
Is the heart of Mary Anne,
That's treasured from coast to coast.

The folk of Ireland delight,
In her visits there for sure.
Her heart has esteemed sunshine,
Her smiles, bright, it makes occur.

It's when she is in Ireland,
Ireland's beauty is more grand.
Her warm, gentle, caring heart,
Sure knows how to understand.


.To her smiles sunshine makes wait makes its way

Give me the strength dear Jesus,
To stay close to you each day.
Give  me insight and wisdom,
So in your presence I'll stay.

Jesus, help me not worry,
Of what others think of me.
Help me live my life for you,
So my life is really free.

Jesus, show me how to live,
In a way pleasing to you,
A life one of holiness,
Always help me to pursue.

Dear Lord, I'm very thankful,
For my good friend, Mary Anne,
Whose heart is warm and gentle,
Shining it bright as she can.

She's someone very thoughtful.
It's her heart that mine does prize.
She is a friend and angel.
This I've come to realize.

Help her heart remain caring.
Please help her heart always shine.
To me she's very special.
I'm glad she-s a friend of mine.

Lord, help her to do your will.
Help her maintain peace of mind.
Help her heart of TLC,
Always be one that is kind.

As the sun rises at dawn,
Birds sing sweetly in the trees.
If their notes somehow were seen,
I'd whistle their melodies.

There's a sunrise peachy keen,
Red and pink are there also,
Making the clouds beautiful,
As winds keep them on the go.


The apple trees are in full bloom.
They're a gorgeous sight to see.
As the winds make their way through,
From trees many petals flee.

The petals are seen waltzing,
As they whirl about the air.
The ground with white they carpet.
It's a sight of beauty rare.

A heart that's warm and caring,
Blessed Mother help me keep,
Life's joys dear Blessed Mother,
Each day show me how to reap.

Help my heart never grow cold,
And be one that's full of love.
Ask Jesus to give me peace,
That's more tranquil than a dove.

While in this world of darkness,
Mother show me how to be,
A light that can brightly shine,
To rid darkness with beauty.

In Christ's presence help me stay.
Help me Mother show the way.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
My love is ardent for you.
Show ne Mother how to love,
To please God the way you do.  

Help me so like you I'll have,
A heart that's loving and wise.
Help me to live as God wants,
So I'll enter paradise.

Dear gracious queen help my heart,
So it is pure joyously;
Like the heart that's found in you,
A heart one full of beauty.

My neighbors help me care for.
Their needs help me not ignore.

Chocolate is real tasty.
In much candy it is found.
It's found in many desserts.
It's prized for its taste renowned.

Dark chocolate is healthy.
It's said to be medicine.
When it is found in milkshakes,
Many taste buds it does win.

When it comes to making fudge,
The tastiest it does make.
When you ask for chocolate,
Seldom is is it a mistake.

When you get your sweet a treat,
And it's St. Valentine's Day,
Chocolate is a safe choice.
Many words its taste will say
