Lord, help me love all those in need,
Help me seek to live for you:
To you Lord, help me to heed,
Holiness, help me pursue.

The strength I need to live each day,
Bounteously give to me,
When I find life a burden
Life's joys then help me to see.

Be my light in life's dark times,
This request I ask of Thee:
Show me the path to heaven,
And Lord, draw me close to Thee.

Help Me, Lord, when I'm tempted,
With things that are of the world;
Beauty help my heart release,
Like petals of buds unfurled.

For the good things you give me,
I give you, Lord, gratitude;
Lord, help me to be patient,
Help me to have a good mood.

Help my heart to be loving,
Gentle, help me always be;
The way you want me to live,
Always, Lord, help me to see.

Lord, help me to do your will,
Peace, in my heart, there instill.

Dear Lord, give me the wisdom,
That is needed to be wise.
Virtues I need to live by,
Don't let sin come to disguise.

Lord, help my heart be caring,
Also help my heart be kind.
The joys that are camouflaged,
In clear sight, them, help me find.

Loving, help my heart to be,
Help me know how I should live,
At times when I'm weak in life,
Give me the strength to forgive.

Understanding help me be,
Lord, give my heart sturdiness.
Help me, Lord, always strive for,
Holiness and gentleness.

Lord, help me love my neighbors:
Even when I don't want to.
Give me the strength that I need,
So holiness I'll pursue,

When hate arises in my life,    
It, dear Lord, help me then face:    
Give to me what I need most,
So hate with love I'll replace.                    

Help me give light to neighbors,        
So that they will come to see:   
It's when we love our neighbors,        
Earth will then have more beauty.

Help me love my neighbors, Lord,
Lack of love I can't afford.

Help me Mother, be like you,
Putting God first in my life;
When I find life hard to live
Help me in such times of strife.

Give to me then Mother dear,
Your love that is without end.
When I find my life broken,
With your love, it, Mother mend.

Remind me dearest Mother,
Of things God wants me to do.
In life's difficult moments,
Please be there to pull me through.

Help me Mother be like you.
Holiness help me pursue.

This is one of the poems that got knocked off my list  from  2017 and part of 2018.
I touched this up April 2,2023.

Like you, Mother, help me live.    
Encourage me to forgive.
For God help me live my life,
Especially when there's strife.

The hearts of others help me win,
To sin help me close my heart:
Like Jesus help me to be,
Evil help me want no part. 

Help me to say yes like you,
To what Jesus calls me to:
 A pure life, help me to live,
Holiness, help me pursue.

To Jesus help me turn to.
Help me, Mother live like you.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
My love is ardent for you.
Show ne Mother how to love,
To please God the way you do.  

Help me so like you I'll have,
A heart that's loving and wise.
Help me to live as God wants,
So I'll enter paradise.

Dear gracious queen help my heart,
So it is pure joyously;
Like the heart that's found in you,
A heart one full of beauty.

My neighbors help me care for.
Their needs help me not ignore.

Lord, help me so I don't worry,
What other people think of me.
Help me live as you want me to.
With a wise heart, help me to see.

When I'm looked down on by others,
For living as you want me to,
Help me to stay faithful to you.
Good acts help me show my life through.

When I find life is not rosy,
And I find life is hard to live,
Give me the strength to carry on,
Lord, others, help me to forgive,
And I find life is hard to live,

Lord, what I need to be happy,
Clearly .this, Lord, help me to know.
Help me to know how to serve you.
In holiness, help me to grow.

Help me to serve you faithfully,
In my life, help me keep you first.
Thank you, Lord, for your Living Word.
It's for your Living Word I thirst.

Lord, you know what I go through,
And the help of which I need.
When I find life too complex,
Your wisdom, Lord, to me feed.

Give me the needed courage,
To stand up for what is right.
When life is full of darkness,
In these times, Lord, be my light.

When I find life caving in,
Don't let my life fall apart.
Make my heart one that's rigid,
And peace instill in my heart.

Help me with my life ,Lord,
So I can wisely think straight.  
Give me a heart for loving,
So that no one I will hate.

At times when I am sick, Lord
And I find myself in pain,
Help me to find the help I need,
Less weight, Lord, help me gain.

Addictions help me to break,
That cause my health to be weak.
Help me find a good diet,
That will help me look less bleak.

Help me spiritually,
So better my health will be.
My physical health is stronger,
When my soul is one healthy.

Heart's that are warm and caring,  
Help us Mother to obtain,                
Help us dear Blessed Mother,          
So our souls, sin will not stain.      

Infuse in our hearts, Mother,        
Your love that is without end:                
God's love and peace, dear Mother,  
To us Mother, have Christ send.

In life's darkness, dear Mother,
Christ's Light, Mother help us see:    
Help us bring light to others,        
To rid darkness with beauty.

When we find life dark Mother,
Light to others help us show:
Darkness in life keep us from,
In holiness help us grow.

Keep an eye on us dear Mother,        
To you Mother this we pray:
Watch over us night and day,
Help us Mother show the way.

She asked me , what is his name?
UI said his name is ''Honey''.

I made a hit Saint Val's Day,
At my friend's house, now he'll stay.

Hope is  what we always  need,
All the more when life is rough;
It helps us to not give up,
Hope  will give us strength enough.

It helps us to see clearly,
To do the things that we should;
And when we find life trying,
It helps us do what's good.

Hope helps us to not despair,
It helps us see life's bright side,
Much good it has to offer,
Hardened hearts it opens wide.        

Hope helps us to understand,
We have a purpose with worth;
Many lives would be worse off,
If we were not here on earth.

Hope helps keep our spirits up,
During times when we're put down;
It helps us strive for heaven,
Which is life's final touchdown.

An idea came for a poem

The notes that I put there

A hopeful poem washed away.
