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.

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.

Help me have a heart, dear Lord,
One that is loving as yours;
When I open up my heart,
Your love lavishly there pours.

Help me see you in others,
Help me to have peace of mind;  
When others think bad of me,
Lord, then help me to be kind.



Bless me, Lord, with your good gifts,
Others hearts, help me to touch;
Help me know, Lord, what to do,
As to you each heart means much.

Lord , help me  strive for heaven,
Holiness help me pursue;
Help me be truly grateful,
And always, Lord, turn to you.

Oh dear Lord, the God of love,
Teach us how to love like you;
Help us to love our neighbors,
To you Lord, draw us close to.

When we want to do what's wrong,
Help us, Lord, to do your will;          
Give us courage that we need,
Your peace in our hearts instill.

Hate don't let enter in us,  
Allow love that is holy;
Faith, help us have in you, Lord,
Bestow on us, Lord,  mercy.  

Show us how to love and live,
Give us courage to forgive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
