fragrant moonflowers

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.

My dear guardian angel,
Please help me throughout the day.
At times when I am tempted,
With guidance show me the way.

Protect me from the devil,
When he tries to steal my soul.    
Help me stay faithful to God,
So I won't have an idol.

Help me to love my neighbors,
The way God calls me to love,
And say no to earthly things,
Not approved by God above.

My guardian angel dear,
To God draw ne closer near.

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.

When hearts she sees are broken,
With her love, them, she will patch.
She has a heart of sweetness,
Lilac flowers will not match.

Her sweetness excels blossoms,
Of black locust and bloom white;
And also sweet orange blossoms,
That sure bring noses delight.

She's someone very thoughtful.
She sure knows how to be dear;
She's a heart of TLC,
Everyday of every year.

My good friend thinks well of me.
I like it when she's around.

Love in it there does abound.

There is an immense beauty,
That's found in my good friend's heart;
In my heart from that of hers,
Gently love it does impart.

Florists are known for roses,
And forget-me-nots of blue;
But these flowers can't excel,
My friend's heart that's gold and true.

I must be thought highly of,
My heart is touched by her love.

Stars seen in Neier's skies at night,
Are an awesome, marvelous sight:
Fireflies acrobat in the air,
No ropes can be seen anywhere.

Their flying is a real artwork,
Arrows and hearts light up the air:
This is an awesome sight to see,
A sight that makes us want to stare.

Beautiful songs that crickets play,
Add beauty to help end the day:
As nighttime flowers. open wide
Moonflowers' sweetness makes its way.

Neier's summer nights are grand to see,
It is there that we want to be.

Oak-leaf hydrangea blooms,
Have a sweetness that's profound.
When the wind takes the sweetness,
The bees come from all around.

They are perennial plants,
Growing well under the trees.
They have a scent that's fragrant,
With it noses they can seize .

They like it in a full sun,                            
And can bloom there well also.
The oak-leaf hydrangea,      
In tree shade and sun both grow.

Excels the man-made perfumes.
