More than pirates treasure gold,
I treasure love in your heart.
Your heart sunny and caring,
Makes darkness in life depart.

Is your heart an emerald
That's sparkling with green beauty?
It has a core of pure gold.
Your soul is purer I see.      

I find it understanding,
And much sweeter than honey;
Even during dreary days,
It makes life very sunny.

An interesting painting.
I bought today at a store.
When I hung it on the wall,
I saw gold pour on the floor.

Streaming forth from the picture,
That's of your heart, Mary Anne;
I find fourteen karat gold.
It's of you I'm a big fan.

Dear Lord, I'm very thankful,
For my good friend, Mary Anne,
Whose heart is warm and gentle,
Shining it bright as she can.

She's someone very thoughtful.
It's her heart that mine does prize.
She is a friend and angel.
This I've come to realize.

Help her heart remain caring.
Please help her heart always shine.
To me she's very special.
I'm glad she-s a friend of mine.

Lord, help her to do your will.
Help her maintain peace of mind.
Help her heart of TLC,
Always be one that is kind.

Lovely Lady robed in white,
Help me , once more I pray;      
Bring light in my darkest hours,
Once more, I ask you this day.

When I'm tempted with evil,
And help I am in need of,
Have Christ send sufficient grace
,And bountifully his love.

For It is by thy gentleness,
I'm encouraged to be meek;
The good that is in others,
Mother, it, help me to seek.  

There are  many joys in life,
Some appearing in disguise;
Help me find them, dear Mother,
With a heart that's truly wise.

Dear Lord and gentle Jesus,
Close to you Lord, there draw me          
Give to me an inmost calm,
Bestow on me your mercy.        

You know what is good for me,
And what I am in need of,
Dear Lord, with thy gentle heart,
Show me how I am to love.

During life when I am weak,
Give to me the strength I need,
Your wisdom, help me to know,    
So pleasing you, I'll succeed.

Gentle Jesus, just like you,
Holiness, help me pursue.
Give to me sufficient strength,
And make my life one anew.

When life is hard to handle,
Lord, give me the help I need.
When I find life chaotic,
Make it peaceful, Lord, I plead.

When my mouth should be closed,        
Keep it shut, Lord, I ask you
When life is hard to handle,
Problems in life have be few.      

I ask you Lord to help me
To know how to handle life,
Help me to be contented,
With the good I have in strife.    

When handling life is hard, Lord,                                            
Help me seek heaven's reward.

In life's difficult moments,
We are most in need of hope.
It's life's needed kindling spark.
Trusting in God helps us cope.

Times in life when life gets hard,
And so much in life seems lost,
Recall why we're on earth here,
And the past bridges we've crossed.

New good bridges are sturdy.
Some bridges have creaked and swayed,
While some bridges have toppled,
Some replaced with ones well made.

Passing over life's bridges,
With Christ the good Carpenter,
Over the bridge to heaven,
With him, there we can enter.

And my mom you'll always be.
