Last Year's St. Pat's Night
year year when I looked in the sky,
On March seventeenth ,then I could see,  
Many stars were do--ci -doing,
All throughout the whole galaxy.

Normally the stars above are,
Yellow, red, white, and blazing blue;
But it was on that St. Pat's night,
The green shamrocks were far from few.

It was a flabbergasting sight,
One that I will never forget;
So many stars spun like a top,
Each one beautiful, you bet!

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.

Flowers
Though flowers don't have blood cells,
Some have intrinsic beauty:
Some when they are in full bloom
Are real delightful to see.      

Some birds pollinate flowers.
In the nectar some delight:              
I delight in the flowers,    
That release sweetness at night.

Poison Ivy
Poison ivy is despised,
Welcomed is Mary Anne's heart.
It brings needed, bright sunshine,
Which in my life does impart.

Poison ivy has three leaves.
It can make life hard to live.
It's what I can do without,
Not so kindness that she'll give.

Poison ivy when spreading,
Is real hard to get rid of.
Her heart, I don't want to lose,
Because it's so full of  love.

Poison ivy is painful,
And in rashes it puts me;
Not so, Mary Anne's sweet heart,
Comforting with much beauty.

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.

Amidst Life's Many Problems
Life has it's share of problems,
They are found in everyday.  
At times we're lifted from life's pits
By kind things folks do and say.

Sometimes life's griefs seem too much,
That we seldom realize,
In some of life's dark moments,
Answers can be in disguise.

Wisdom, Lord, bestow on me,
Understanding, help me be:
Lord, help me to do your will,
How to please you help me see.

Help me to be courageous,
And stand for what is right:
How I'm able to serve you,
Give me the needed insight.

In clarity help me see
Gentle help my heart to be:
From me keep away evil,
And bestow on me mercy.

Dar Lord, help my heart be kind,
Give me things I'm in need of:
Needed strength give to me Lord,
And your never- ending love.

Candles
Candles are made to give light,
A fragrance in some is found.
My best friend's heart gives off light.
I feel great when she's around.  

Most candles have wax and wicks,
And some are electronic.
When it comes to giving light,
It is my friend's heart  I pick.

My friend's smiles beam with sunshine,
They give warmth but do not burn;
To be near her sunny heart,
this is what my heart does yearn.      

Some candles have a fragrance.
Love, my friend's heart never lacks;
I find her heart very sweet,
Even more than are lilacs.

The fragrances of candles
In lavender and Lilac,
For these kinds of sweet candles,
For more, my friend does go back.

With sweetness bees go after.
She's a treasured friend of mine.
Healing I find her laughter.

Roses are known for beauty
Mary Anne's heart for its love.
It is sweeter than lilacs
And more gentle than a dove.

She has hair that is brunette
Of coiffures she has no need.
Her heart, I highly treasure
Close to Christ, me, she does lead.

With the sunshine of her heart
Warming hearts she makes an art.

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.
Blessed Mother, please help me,
Through another day on earth;
Help me love God, as you do,
Also help me see my worth.

To God and also neighbors,
From my heart, help me show love;
When I get mad or angry,
Have Christ calm me like a dove.

Give me the strength and courage,
To love God the way you do;
And my brothers and sisters,
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue.

Blessed Mother, please help me,
To live my life, more like thee.
