The river had been rising.
It is now close to flood stage.
There's  a need for sandbaggers.
Workers of most every age.

With the water pipes breaking,
With weather that's near zero,
The work will be bone chilling,
What people will want to go?

Some kids had a lucky hat.
Snowmen, they started to make.
Sandbagging was sure in need.
Sandbags would be no mistake.

Though snowmen could not throw bags,
Or they would be washed away.
They switched with those filling bags,
More men could throw bags that way.

Where the bags were being filled,
It was near twenty below,
And also a cold wind chill ,
And a blizzard spewing snow.

When they passed out free coffee,
Snowmen said that's very nice.
If we were to drink coffee,
We would soon be turned to ice.

With ease we'll take this weather.
Brave, you humans sure must be.
We're glad to be of some help.
How frozen you are we see.

As the sun rises at dawn,
Birds sing sweetly in the trees.
If their notes somehow were seen,
I'd whistle their melodies.

There's a sunrise peachy keen,
Red and pink are there also,
Making the clouds beautiful,
As winds keep them on the go.


The apple trees are in full bloom.
They're a gorgeous sight to see.
As the winds make their way through,
From trees many petals flee.

The petals are seen waltzing,
As they whirl about the air.
The ground with white they carpet.
It's a sight of beauty rare.

When raindrops turn to snowflakes,
They then float instead of drop.
When a blizzard starts to form,
Snowflakes just don't want to stop.

The weather took a cold dip,      
Making the ponds and lakes freeze;
As snowflakes make their way down,
They make snow tufts on the trees.

Snowflakes land upon the ice.
The ice soon will not be seen;
As moonbeams make their debut,
They make the sight more serene.

When it's snowing on the dell,
Beauty found there sure is swell.

In a Dixie grove at dawn,
The beauty there made me sigh;
Citrus petals filled the air,
And winds made the clouds float by.

The clouds were of rosy red,
And had an orange and peach hue;
Citrus petals whirled in air,
And made a real awesome view.

Sweet fragrant citrus petals,
To the limbs no more could cling;
Citrus petals like snowflakes,
Much beauty they sure, did bring.

Lilacs are real sweet flowers,
In lavender, white and blue.
There are some other colors.
These three will often do.

When I am in their presence,
There's a touch of paradise.
They're renowned for their beauty,
And their sweetness that bees prize.

Lilacs have real small flowers.
Their sweetness makes up for size.
For sweetness they're world-renowned,
When their fragrance fills the skies.

When lilacs are in full bloom,
The air is full of sweet perfume.

When I find life hard to live,
Lord, during times such as these,
Give me the needed insight,
To know how you I can please.

When I find life disturbing,
And temptations attack me,
Lord, help my heart to be pure.
Peace of mind, Lord, please give me.

When I'm hated by others,
To them, love, help me return.
What you're calling me to do,
This, Lord, help me to discern.

Help me, Lord, so I'll be just.
In you, help me put my trust.

Dear Lord, help me to notice,
The blessings you bring to me;
For good things, Lord, that you give,
Gratefully, Lord, I thank Thee.

Good things, I have not asked for,
Many still you give to me;
Lord, because you so love me,
Happy you want me to be.

For things that lead me to you,

For things such as these, dear Lord,
Give to me my whole life through.

I can see how I should live,
With commands to me you give.

Peony flowers come in,
Colors of red, pink, and white.
They sure are lovely flowers.
In them people take delight.

Their appearance looks much like,
Football mums but they're smaller.
When they're received by someone,
They make one's heart feel taller.

Some of them grow on bushes,
How I wish they grew on trees,
A turbulent breeze with force,
Might help bequeath  peonies.

Most grow off of a rhizome,
Like the ones found near my home.

It was on blooming flowers,
On apple trees one could see,
Eyes gazing on their beauty,
That was a sight heavenly.

As a windstorm made its way,
Through trees petals it did strew,
Many petals filled the air,
But those then on trees were few.

To the ground they made their way,
The ground then had become white;
The ground became a carpet,
In which people took delight.

With apple blossoms blooming,
The air they'd been perfuming.

When the wheat from fields are reaped,  
There's much work yet to be done.
Stalks are then cut and harrowed,
Then they're dried by wind and sun.

The work done by the bailer,
Compacts straw that's in furrows,
After twine tightens the straw,
Each bale off the baler goes.

Today lets forget the gym,    
It's the day that we make straw.
It's time to work our muscles.
From rest it's time to withdraw.

There'll be work on the trailer,  
And there'll be work on the field.
The work is more exhausting,        
Where the wheat had a good field.

Bales are brought to the trailer,    
Where they're thrown then stacked on it.
The work is sure exhausting,
But its not yet time to quit.

Byhe bale escalator, 
To the barn times bales are brought.
When there's no escalator,
We then work more than we ought.

Stacking bales inside the barn,  
Laborious it's there too;
When the bales are put away,
To the kitchen we head to.

Help me,dear Lord, soon come to see,
The way, Lord, I can best please Thee.
My heart with faith and love that's pure,
Is what I'll need to find a cure.        
A lack of love  I can't afford.
Heaven, help me seek as reward.
My heart with love have it restored.
Help me live my life for you, Lord.
In my heart there have peace instill,
My heart with joys ,  profusely fill.
