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.

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.
