Moonflowers(stanza poem)
Fragrant blossoms of moonflowers,              
Release sweetness during the night;
Their sweeet fragrance like sweet perfume,
To noses, does bring much delight.

Moonflowers  cling to trellises,
Like your love does around my heart;
Your sweetness excels moonflowers,  
With its sweetness it does impart.

Your heart is surely more sweeter,  
Than moonflowers will ever be;
By me it is highly treasured,
And it means very much to me.

Blessed Mother, make me wise,
The way Christ wants me to be;
Help me lead others to God    
By good examples daily.              

Tenderly, dearest Mother,
Lovely Lady dressed in blue:
With your love reach out to me,
And draw me closer to you.

Help me to live peacefully,
Patience, help me to pursue.    
Daily, Mother, help me love,
In a way that will please you.

Jesus, Help Me Sin No More
At times when I am tempted,
Jesus be there at my side.
In what I am in need of,
Jesus, it, to me provide.

You know what I 'm in need of,
And what I should stay far from.
What draws me closer to you,
Help me know how to welcome.

Give me the strength and courage,
To say no to temptation.
Help me, Jesus, in these times,
And through my life's duration.

In evil things, dear, Jesus,
Help me never have a part.      
For loving, dearest Jesus,
Help me make room in my heart.

Help me know what I should do,
To stay far away from sin;
Help me live the way you did,
And courageously hang in.

Thank you for those who show us love,
What is best for us will think of,
Who show good examples to us,
Lovingly, help, with us will discuss.
Thank you, Lord, for all you've done,  
For sending us Christ, who's your Son.
Thanks for our Thanksgiving feast,
For flavor soon to be released.    
Thank you for this get-together,
And for non-violent weather.      
Thank you, Lord, for our good health,
And for friends who are real wealth.

Dear Lord and gentle Savior,
Of you I think highly of;
Give me your grace and mercy,
And don't cease to give your love.

Countless as stars of heaven,
In my heart, there, joys you bring;
You want what is best for me,
Over me you are watching.

When my life is a burden,
With my crosses you help me,
Dear Lord and gentle Savior,
How I'm to live help me see.

Your love, dear Lord has no end,
You are my forever friend.

When I Find Life Depressing
When I find life depressing,
Will you, Lord, then be with me?
Help me so I'm not hopeless,                    
Joy and peace bring with mercy.

Help my heart not be empty,
Instill in it, Lord your peace.
And when Lord, there I find it,
All the more have it increase.

Depression is not healthy,
Peace of mind, Lord, bring to me,
Help me, Lord, to be healthy,
How I should live help me see.

Depressed, Lord, help me not be,
Help me to be more like Thee.

Sweet Mary Anne
Much sweeter than hyacinths,
Is the heart of Mary Ann.
Smiling, she sure is good at,
Of her smiles I'm a big fan.

The Double Delight roses,
her sweetness, they cannot beat.
her friendship I sure treasure,
Her I sure do like to meet.

The sweetness of bees' honey,
the bears are sure in search of,
I'll search for something better,
Her heart that's so full of love.

I find her heart a rare find.
It is one that's always kind.
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Keep an eye on MaryAnne:  
The way you lived in holiness,
Show MaryAnne how she can.

Show Maey Anne how to live,
So she will please God each day:
Help her so she'll know God's will,
With wisdom, please guide her way.

To good use help her use time,
Ask God to give her his peace:  
Help her to find joys in life,
That will increase and not cease,

If her heart does get broken  
Whole ask Christ to make it be:  
Help her so she won't worry,  
And not have anxiety.

Jesus Be Our Source of Joy
Living our lives for Jesus,
Abundant joys we will find,  
When we need Jesus the most,
He will not be far behind.

Direct our hearts dear Jesus,
Help us to be drawn to you,          
Help us strive for holiness,
And to your mom draw us too.

Help us love all our neighbors,
In them help us to see you,
Help us to treat them kindly,
The way that you want us to.

Jesus our source of joy be,
For now and eternity.

Human Life We Must Protect
During the time of conception,                              
Babies get their humanity:
Two cells unite to bring new life,
An individual baby.

A woman became a mother,                          
As pregnant she then had become:          
Let's  pray and help her protect life,  
So her baby she will welcome.    

As life keeps on developing                                    
The same person that one will be:
Let’s respect life of every stage,
And better off we all will be.
written by Joseph G. Schelling APRIL 2023 RESENT 10-19-2024
When we find life difficult,
Dear Lord, show us how to live:
Help us to be merciful,
Others help us to forgive.

In our hearts, your peace instill,
Lord, from sin help us be freed:
Fully help us live our lives:
Lord, help us to have no greed,

When life is disturbing, Lord,
Help us be gentle and kind:
When the storms of life are rough,
Peace then Lord, help us to find.

When we find our lives real rough,
Peace Lord help us find enough.

When I Find Life A Burden
When I find life a burden,
And it's difficult to live;
During such times as these, Lord,
Needed strength to me, then give.

When burdens weigh on my heart,
Lift me up, Lord, from their weight;
Lord, make life's burdens lighter,
For your help, Lord, help me wait.

When I find life depressing,
Help in finding peace, give Lord;
When I find my heart broken,
Lord, help it to be restored.

When I find life a burden,
Joys in life, Lord, help me find;
Help me, Lord, to trust in you,
And help me find peace of mind.

Mary Anne, My Great Friend
When I find life is dismal,
And I need some sunshine bright
I look for Mary Anne's heart,
That is sunny day and night.

Mary Anne is a great friend,
With brunette hair and eyes blue
Her heart is warm and caring,
No wonder it I pursue.

She is a treasured angel,
And her heart's wealth can't be bought.
Her heart is warm and gentle,
Sunshine in my heart she's brought.

With Mary Anne as my friend,
I find my heart is content.
Being real kind and thoughtful,
Is Mary Anne's heart's intent.

Her smiles when they ricochet,
Can spin stars that are above.
No wonder they're so renowned,
And always them I think of.
