The Blizzard
Big, dark, clouds are in the sky,
The highways soon won't be clear:
As the thunder shakes the clouds,
Snow on highways will appear.  
  
A snowstorm was predicted,
Would things be at a standstill?
As snow would fall on the roads,
Inches of snow them would fill.

Winds were acting like sandstorms,
Moving snow instead of sand:
Making a picturesque sight,
That is landscaping the land.        

It's not made by a wizard,
Nature has made this blizzard.

What do you get a lady,              
Who's a friend and a flower,
With her caring, loving heart,        
Many hearts she can empower.

She's someone who's an angel,
And is gentle as a dove,
It's her friendship I treasure,
And think very highly of.

A big box of chocolates,
And a fragrant rose bouquet,
These are things she would enjoy,
And would help to make her day.

Why not give a diamond
If she plays cards or baseball?
To let her know that I care,
I'll stop by or have a call.

I'll let her know she's treasured,
With friendship that means so much,
Speaking kind with TLC,
It's her heart I hope to touch.      

Whatever God wants for her,
I also want for her too,
I'll be blessed for doing this,
This is love that's really true.

On A Snowy Christmas Day
On a snowy Christmas Day
Snowflakes fluttered in the sky,
It was an awesome blizzard,
Its beauty could make one sigh.

Snowflakes stuck while in the sky
Letters formed to spell your name:
They spelled ythe name, Mary Anne,
Pivoting in air they came.

Santa had still been nearby,
So he took us home by sleigh:
This time I will not forget,
On this snowy Christmas day.

It was a white wonderland,
Until you shone your smiles bright:
Your warm smiles had brought an end,
To cold to my heart's delight.

Lord, help us not be anxious,
For earthly things that will pass:
Help us seek heavenly things
That eternally will last.

Dear Lord, help us to please you.
In all that we say and do,
A holy life every day,
Always help us to pursue,

Lord, help us not be anxious,
In life happy help us be,
Help us see how to please you,
Joy in life help us to see.

Anxious, Lord help us not be,
Unless it helps us, please Thee.

Frozen Hearts
Hate causes hearts to be frozen,
Care and kindness they're in need of,
Frozen hearts will soon come to thaw,
When they receive sufficient love.

When someone's heart is frozen,
It needs to be softened with love.
Love has a way of thawing hearts,
To make them gentle like a dove.

Frozen hearts are in need of warmth
Loving hearts are able to give,
Frozen hearts at times hold grudges,
They'll start thawing when we forgive.

When frozen a heart then smarts,
It needs warmth from other's hearts.

Jesus Help Us Be Grateful
From when life starts at conception,
And continues during one's life.
Every life, help us to value,
When we are confronted with strife.

We give thanks to you dear Jesus,
For all that you have done for us,
Put tranquility in our hearts,
Keeping from our hearts all ruckus,                

Thank you, Jesus, for your coming,
Please help us with our attitude:
For it's when we love everyone,
We show to you our gratitude.                  

Like you Jesus help us to love,
With kindness and much TLC,
It's when we treat others like you,
A much better world then we'll see.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is a very special one.
It's a fact you are a star,
Though your heart is not a sun.

Your heart is full of sunshine,
But doesn't have extreme heat:
It's one that is full of love,
And it's also very sweet.

Your heart is known for beauty,
In it, there's much TLC.
As your heart keeps on growing,
So much more virtues we'll see.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is truly a work of art.

Help us to stay close to Jesus,
Ask him to show us peace of mind.

In God help us to put our trust,
Lost, Mother help us not become.

To become part of God's kingdom.

On the path that leads to heaven,
To it dear Mother show the way.  
Help us stay close to Jesus Crist,                        
On heaven's path help us to stay.      

For our lives, Jesus paid the cost.

Chastity
Chastity is so crucial,                            
In proving one’s love is true.
It helps us with self-control,
To face life with a clear view.

In single and married life,
We must guard our chastity.
Showing concern for others,
Will help us so we'll be free.

A chaste life is a treasure
  Throughout the stages of life:                                          
It helps maintain a marriage,
Through chaotic times of strife.

That’s where real love flourishes,
Where joys often tag along,
A virtue with great power,
That keeps much from going wrong.

It disciplines our bodies,
Helping us to live lives pure,
It helps us manage our lives.
With the courage to endure.


notes:      I had Chastity on poetry,com. I changed a couple words to touch it up and improve beat.  11-25-2022
I know you love me, dear Lord
Graciously love I'll give thee.        
How I can please you the most,
Dear Lord, help me come to see.  

When I love my neighbors,
I am also loving Thee.
And when I serve my neighbors,
Help me do so lovingly.                      

When I find life caving in,
Your hand, Lord, reach out to me,
Show me Lord, how much you care,
And bestow on me mercy.

Dear Lord, I know you love me,
Spiritually help me see.

Under A Summer's Rainbow
Under a summer's rainbow,
A lovely sight does appear.
A lovely kaleidoscope,
To the gold *** does adhere.

Found around the *** of gold,
Leprechauns there dance a jig,
.Like a pass between mountains,
Their smiles too are also big.

On the arch of the rainbow,
Should a swing be stationed there,
Under a summer's rainbow,
Would one's weight the rainbow bear?

Under a summer's rainbow,
A delightful breeze does blow.
Made this poem out of one of mine laying around 11-24-2022
Take my heart dear, sweet Jesus,
And show it how it should love.
Make my heart one that's gentle,          
So much more than is a dove.

More than the stars in heaven,
Help my heart to brightly glow,
In a quest for holiness,
Jesus. help my heart to grow.

Jesus, take hold of my heart,
And show me how I should live:
The strength I am in need of,
Bountifully to me give.

Jesus, take hold of my heart,
Make blues in my heart depart.

Jesus Be Our Source of Joy
Living our lives for Jesus,
Abundant joys we will find,  
When we need Jesus the most,
He will not be far behind.

Direct our hearts dear Jesus,
Help us to be drawn to you,          
Help us strive for holiness,
And to your mom draw us too.

Help us love all our neighbors,
In them help us to see you,
Help us to treat them kindly,
The way that you want us to.

Jesus our source of joy be,
For now and eternity.
Bright crimson stars in heaven,
On St. Val's night turn real bright,
It's when your smiles reach them there,
Each one then they do ignite.

The stars that are in heaven,
Are in the shape of a heart.
Throughout the whole universe,
Stars' beauty your smiles impart.    

They get much more beautiful.
When your smiles there make way,
And throughout all St. Val's night,
In lovely splendor they stay.

Dear, you are that special star,
Heaven's stars can't compare to,
You're not lovely just this night,
But day and night the year through.

Enter My Heart Dear Jesus
Enter my heart dear Jesus,
And infuse your love in it:
Like the stars in the heavens,
Help my heart be brightly lit.

I'll open my heart Jesus,
In it, there I want your love,
There you're welcome to enter:          
By me you're thought highly of.                          

When I find life hard to live,
Wisdom, give me so I'll see,
That life can be  beautiful,        
When I live my life for thee.                

Dear Jesus, enter my heart,
What's sinful help make depart.
