Missouri apple trees bloom,
With their sweet blossoms of white;
In their perfuming flowers,
Noses sure do take delight.  

As these petals whirl in air,
With beauty each blossom has,
They make up an awesome scene,
That has plentiful pizazz.

Missouri apple blossoms,
Are a lovely sight to see;
When in Mary Anne's presence,
They are then much more lovely.

Missouri apple trees in bloom,
For her smiles will make room.

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

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.

When life is far from rosy,
And is a thorn in our side:
We need to turn to Christ our Lord,
So He can open our hearts wide.

Christ wants us to be at peace,
Happy he wants us to be,
He wants to come in our hearts,
He wants us holy and free.

Guide us daily Jesus Christ,
So in life we will not stray:
Be our Light that shows the way,
Listen to us when we pray.

When we find life hard to bear,                    
Show us then that you'll be there.

Dear Blessed Mother, Mary,
God's calling help me to live.
Help me surrender to God,
Courage to me Mother give.        

Mother, help me not worry,
What others might think of me,
Like you help me surrender,
My life to God totally.

I know God wants what's best for me.
Happy he wants me to be.
Help me live as he calls me,
And open to his mercy.

At times when people harm me,
Show me how I'm to forgive.  
As you lived upon the earth,
This way show me how to live.
Mary Anne it is your heart,
That is gentle, sweet and kind:
You've brought warmth into my heart,
Imparting in it bright sunshine.

If pirates knew about your heart,
They'd want it instead of gold:
Your heart is one of a kind,
I never find it get cold.

Your love came into my heart,
Making it so brightly glow,
I'm thankful for a friend like you,
I thought this you'd like to know.

Mary Anne you are a gem,
It is your heart that I prize:
It's truly an awesome one,
I hope this you realize.

I treasure your heart Mary Anne,
And of it I'm a big fan.
Having a friend such as you,
Iam sure blessed Mary Anne,

Friend
I love how your eyes sparkle,
Like emeralds are meant to:
I love how you light my heart,  
And I am so glad you do.

It is your sweet, tender care,
That does make my heart unlock.
Your heart does much more healing,    
Even than the herb burdock.            

You're a star without a doubt,
Brighter than the stars above:
Cast thy starlight upon me,
Caring friend with heart of love.

You're a jewel of great worth,  
Though you're not one for a ring:
Around my heart your caring love,
Is where I want it to cling.

Numerous as heavens' stars,
And the sand on the seashore,
Are the joys you bring to me,
I'm unable to ignore.

Your heart  of golden sunshine,
In it friend I take delight.
You fill my heart with brightness,
My heart with love you ignite.

Heaven's stars have their beauty,
But they don't have TLC.
You are the star I treasure,
Who means very much to me.

You are a friend very dear,
I treasure throughout each year.

Mary Anne's Sunshine Smiles
Mary Anne's bright, dazzling, smiles,
Flower buds can open wide.
Her smiles bring warmth in my heart,
When her sunshine comes inside.

The cold is more bearable,
With warmth of her smiles bright;
The way in which they stand out,
Makes dark times seem very bright.

Mary Anne's dynamic smiles,
Aren't just known for their sunshine.
They sure know how to lift hearts,
One of these hearts sure is mine.

They come from her heart of gold,
They're welcomed but never sold.
