That you have helped me to find,
Not having to search no more            
Surely does help ease my mind.

To live in humility,
Help me live my life for God,
Showing love and charity.

When it's what I'm called to do,

Poison ivy is despised,
Welcomed is Mary Anne's heart.
It brings needed, bright sunshine,
Which in my life does impart.

Poison ivy has three leaves.
It can make life hard to live.
It's what I can do without,
Not so kindness that she'll give.

Poison ivy when spreading,
Is real hard to get rid of.
Her heart, I don't want to lose,
Because it's so full of  love.

Poison ivy is painful,
And in rashes it puts me;
Not so, Mary Anne's sweet heart,
Comforting with much beauty.

Dear foster rather of Jesus,
The spouse of our Blessed Mother,
Give to us your fatherly care,
Show us how to treat each other.

From St. Joseph, foster father,
Of God's only begotten Son,
Jesus had learned good examples,
And skills the way they should be done.

St. Joseph had taught Jesus Christ,
How to live a virtuous life;
He taught Jesus to be loving,
In good times, and in times of strife.

Wisdom, St. Joseph to us give,
And show us how we are to live.
