I saw a star and made a wish,
The prized star that I saw was you:
I was overwhelmed by your heart,
Heavenly stars I'm not drawn to.

Heavenly stars can be helpful,
In navigating the night skies,      
But my heart has no place for them,
You are the star of which I prize.

Yes, you are the star I wished on,
Earthly wealth was not my request:
I wished that you would care for me,
And that you would be my heart's guest.

I saw you star and made a wish,
God's will you'd help me accomplish.

Madre
M   for madreselva,
That is hard to get rid of.
Each bloom is very fragrant,          
Unlike you it has no love.

A   is for amaryllis,
That is well-known for beauty,
Your heart has much more beauty,
That means very much to me.

D is for dandelions,
That landscape the yards in spring,
They're picked by kids for their moms,
Bouquets moms are cherishing,    


R   Is for the rose flowers,
Many with a fragrant scent;
They are easily noticed,            
By people in an instant.                      


E is for ear-leaved tickseed,
It's a gold-centered flower,                   
A type of coreopsis,                  
Bouquets they can empower.                             

Mom, these flowers spell madre,
You're the one whom I love dear;
Mom, it's you whom I cherish,
To hearts your love does adhere.

At the time of conception,
When  you began your pregnancy;
You had become my mother,
And my mom you'll always be.
To your Son's eternal home,
Blessed Mother, there lead me;
Ask Christ to help me find joys,
Help me Mother be holy.


Ask Christ to give me the grace,
Of which I am in need of;
Help my heart's beauty increase,
In hearts help me infuse love.

Mother, help me do God's Will,
Tranquil help my heart to be;
How I can be more like Christ,
Blessed Mother help me see.

To heaven help me get there,
Good acts, Mother, help me bear.

Hyacinths
When hyacinths are blooming,
They've a fragrance very sweet,
Their fragrance is well renowned,
Other blooms take a backseat.

Hyacinths are full of beauty,
Their colors relax the eyes;
At times they're grown in gravel,
Them, most people don't despise.

They will fragrance a garden,
In a way easily done.
;Their blooms will get the biggest,
When they are grown in full sun.

When they're in a tulip garden,
It is sweet when they open.

That you have helped me to find,
Not having to search no more            
Surely does help ease my mind.

Spending Time With God
When we spend our time with God,
That's what God wants us to do.
When we obey his commands,
Close to him, we'll be drawn to.

God wants us to visit him,
Ad give him adoration,  
He wants to give us great joy,
He wants for us elation.

The Lord can soften the soil,
That's found in a hardened heart,
When in the heart we let God in,
We will find the healing start.

Gold, A Precious Metal
GoId is a precious metal,
And conductor for my heart,
It brings your love in my heart,
Entering fast like a dart.

When gold from your heart departs,
It makes its way to your smiles,
Its brightness radiates light,
It's noticed from distant miles.

Friend, your heart shines bright like gold,
But it is much more worthwhile,
Making its way to your face,
It's found on your every smile.

Your heart I think of much more,
It sure deserves an encore.
