For the beauty of the heavens,
I give my thanks, dear Lord to Thee::
Crickets and frogs that play music.
Are a grand orchestra to me.

For the rippling streams of water,
Where I obtain my daily food:
Where animals come for water,
I am  thankful with gratitude.

For watercress that lives in streams
I collect to go with my meals:
When it's in a bright green color,
Its healthiness it then reveals.

For friends that I can confide in,
Thanks, dear Lord for sending my way:
When I find life dark and dismal,
They bring  sunshine into my day.

Most of all, Lord I am grateful,
For your love for me without end:
You  bring hope and joy in my life,
Lord, you are my forever friend.

Gold, A Precious Metal
GoId is a precious metal,
And conductor for my heart,
It brings your love in my heart,
Entering fast like a dart.

When gold from your heart departs,
It makes its way to your smiles,
Its brightness radiates light,
It's noticed from distant miles.

Friend, your heart shines bright like gold,
But it is much more worthwhile,
Making its way to your face,
It's found on your every smile.

Your heart I think of much more,
It sure deserves an encore.
Blessed Mother, please help me
To accept God's Will daily;
The way you did while on earth,
Like you, help me also be.

Help me, Mother, to find peace,
Ask God to bring to me joy;
When peace enters in my heart,
It, please let no one destroy.

Help me live virtuously,
The way God wants me to be.
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Help me live a life holy.

Blessed Mother, please help me,
To be so much more like Thee.

Dear God, you designed me,
So I have so much beauty:
Help me to be more like you,
Strong like you help me to be.

Give me the strength and the grace,
To be able to forgive:
Wisdom, dear Lord give to me,
So healthy my soul will live.

Lord, please be part of my life,
And give me what most I need:
For you, help me live my life,
So I won't be seeking greed.

Give me help I need in life,                  
When I'm confronted with strife.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy

Of some oncoming seizures,
Auras make us aware:
We're ready and expecting,
So they're easier to bear.

EEGs appear at times,
As they're like the Richter scale:
When there is a big seizure,                  
The lines might seem like a whale.

A brain electrical fire,
Times can get out of control:
When there's a grand mal seizure,
Get on the ground and then roll.

In hectic epileptic times,
When seizures finally end:
We feel our lives regain strength.
Bit by bit we feel them mend.

Dear Lord, I know you love me,    
And want what is best for me:
The things that I'm in need of,
Please give me them graciously.

Your wisdom, lavish on me,        
I ask of you this request:
Help me to stay far from sin,
All sin, Lord, help me detest.

Lord, for all you've given me,  
Gratitude to you I give:                            
Help me to be more like you,
And show me how I should live.

Give me the strength and courage,
When I find life hard to face,
My life in your loving hands,
Is where it, I want to place.

Mary Anne you're a swell friend,
For your sweetness you're treasured,
By her gentle T.L.C,
Your heart's beauty is measured.

Your heart is known for sweetness,
Lilacs as sweet wish they'd be,
But then I do not blame them,
As it's sweeter than honey.    

Your heart is prized for sweetness,
As it always is in bloom:
Does my heart possess a wick,
That her heart's love makes illume?

Freesia when in  perfume,                        
Are not as sweet as you are,
Mary Anne, you're sure lovely,
And truly spectacular.

You're a real treasured friend to me,
With happiness my life you fill.
My heart when I needs bright sunshine,
In my heart, there, it you instill.

When the sun's dust is lit up by,
The positively charged atoms,
There's an incredible light show,
Most everybody sure welcomes.

The Auora borealis,
Is this bright heavenly light show.
Friend, I find your heart much brighter,
And purer than a pristine snow.

The Auora borealis,
Is a beautiful sight to see.
Mary Anne, it's your awesome smiles,
That I find even more lovely.

You have a heart with a gold core.
On your heart  are diamond chips.
Your heart is sure bright with sunshine,
Even in a solar eclipse.

Your heart has a core of pure gold,
Worth much more than Spanish doubloons.
It is your heart that lifts me up,
Higher than all hot air balloons.

Diamonds are priceless jewels,
And can sparkle bright with sunlight,
But can't outshine your lovely smiles.
In them, friend, I take great delight.
And more purer than a That I find even more lovely.

On an August summer night,
Moonflowers were in full bloom;    
Their beauty and  sweet fragrance,
Was  satiny with  perfume.      

By the moon's light . one could see,
On the limbs of the peach trees;      
Peaches of red hanging there,
It was seventy degrees.

The Milky Way could be seen,
Easily in a clear view;
The crickets' sound could be heard,
Real clearly the whole night through.

It was on this August night,
I had taken much delight.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is a very special one.
It's a fact you are a star,
Though your heart is not a sun.

Your heart is full of sunshine,
But doesn't have extreme heat:
It's one that is full of love,
And it's also very sweet.

Your heart is known for beauty,
In it, there's much TLC.
As your heart keeps on growing,
So much more virtues we'll see.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is truly a work of art.

From snow clouds on St. Val's Say,
Came a real rare sight to see.
Pristine, white, heart shaped snowflakes,
Floated in air graciously.

The sky was a big ballroom.
Millions of flakes could be found.
It was before they did land,
We could see them waltz around.

The snow tufts found on branches,
Had weighed down the trees of pine.
As the sun shone on the drifts,
They sparkled and bright did shine.

Heart shaped flakes that filled the air,
Made their way on people's hair.

When black locusts are in bloom,
Their sweet blooms are prolific.
When it comes to sweet flowers,
They sure are ones terrific.

Black locust flowers are sweet.
When they grow wild they are free.
Due to the trees' profuse thorns,
Picking them is not easy.

Their fragrance can be carried,
By the wind from blocks away.
It's when their blooms start to fade,                                                  
Their fragrance we wish would stay.

Though their blooms will disappear,
We'll yearn their return next year.

Gentle Mother, Peaceful Dove,
Peaceful,  help me that I'll be.
In my life  loving kindness,
Help me, Mother soon to see.

Show me Mother how to find,
Life's joys in its dismal days.
Show me Mother how to love,
And give to God his due praise.

Help me to love my neighbors,
The way that God wants me to;
When I find life a burden.
Then to God help me be true,

Of you I think highly of,
Gentle Mother, Peaceful Dove.
A heart that's warm and caring,
Blessed Mother help me keep,
Life's joys dear Blessed Mother,
Each day show me how to reap.

Help my heart never grow cold,
And be one that's full of love.
Ask Jesus to give me peace,
That's more tranquil than a dove.

While in this world of darkness,
Mother show me how to be,
A light that can brightly shine,
To rid darkness with beauty.

In Christ's presence help me stay.
Help me Mother show the way.

And help me live a life wise.
