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.

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.

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.

Help me to be more like you;
Lord, help me to  be humble,
Holiness help me pursue.   
                 
Give me the strength that I need,
To live a life that's holy;
When I find life a burden,
My yoke help  me carry.


When I need your help the most,            
Please do not make me tarry;
To you draw me closer near,
And to your Mother Mary.          

Graciously, help to .me give,
Jesus, show me how to live.

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

Hawaii's sweetest
Hawaii hsd its suggar,
But it's not as sweet as you:
You are sweeter than honey                
To you I'm always drawn to.

You are a senorita,
Who has a heart one of gold:
You are a treasured angel,
Your heart is one never cold.

If I'd move to Hawaii
I sure wish you would come there:
Your heart thar's full of sunshine,
Its light there will always bear.

More renowned than sugar cane
Is your heart that I'll retain.

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.
