Flower Petals' Beauty
As the sunshine shone brightly,
Flower buds became unfurled.    
In times winds will whip through trees,
Petals to ground will have whirled.

Should the petals be enough,
A carpet on ground they'll make.
Maybe there'll be plush walking,
Their beauty eyes will awake.

There will be a sweet fragrance,
Where sweet flowers are blooming.
Noses will search out sweetness,
As air  they'll be perfuming.

During sunrise this morning,
Clouds in bright colors were seen.
Some clouds were pink and peachy,
With a touch of orange  between.

This must have been quite a sight,
Of it my friend told me of.
She said the clouds were sailing,
As they traveled high above.

Through the clouds sunlight made way,
Making them much brighter glow.
This sunrise was sure awesome,
And across the sky did go.

Amidst Life's Many Problems
Life has it's share of problems,
They are found in everyday.  
At times we're lifted from life's pits
By kind things folks do and say.

Sometimes life's griefs seem too much,
That we seldom realize,
In some of life's dark moments,
Answers can be in disguise.

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.
Wisdom, Lord, bestow on me,
Understanding, help me be:
Lord, help me to do your will,
How to please you help me see.

Help me to be courageous,
And stand for what is right:
How I'm able to serve you,
Give me the needed insight.

In clarity help me see
Gentle help my heart to be:
From me keep away evil,
And bestow on me mercy.

Dar Lord, help my heart be kind,
Give me things I'm in need of:
Needed strength give to me Lord,
And your never- ending love.

Oh dear Lord, the God of love,
Teach us how to love like you;
Help us to love our neighbors,
To you Lord, draw us close to.

When we want to do what's wrong,
Help us, Lord, to do your will;          
Give us courage that we need,
Your peace in our hearts instill.

Hate don't let enter in us,  
Allow love that is holy;
Faith, help us have in you, Lord,
Bestow on us, Lord,  mercy.  

Show us how to love and live,
Give us courage to forgive.
I found a cute teddy bear.
A home he was in need of.
Would you like to see my friend?
She has a heart full of love.

This talking bear said to me,
Buy me and to her take me.
When I gave the bear to her,
She smiled very happily.

You knew what I would ask for,
Tell me if you've ESP.
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.

Help me have a heart, dear Lord,
One that is loving as yours;
When I open up my heart,
Your love lavishly there pours.

Help me see you in others,
Help me to have peace of mind;  
When others think bad of me,
Lord, then help me to be kind.



Bless me, Lord, with your good gifts,
Others hearts, help me to touch;
Help me know, Lord, what to do,
As to you each heart means much.

Lord , help me  strive for heaven,
Holiness help me pursue;
Help me be truly grateful,
And always, Lord, turn to you.

Under A Summer's Rainbow
Under a summer's rainbow,
A lovely sight does appear.
A lovely kaleidoscope,
To the gold *** does adhere.

Found around the *** of gold,
Leprechauns there dance a jig,
.Like a pass between mountains,
Their smiles too are also big.

On the arch of the rainbow,
Should a swing be stationed there,
Under a summer's rainbow,
Would one's weight the rainbow bear?

Under a summer's rainbow,
A delightful breeze does blow.
Made this poem out of one of mine laying around 11-24-2022

Poison Ivy
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.

one made of brass instruments

Mary Anne's sweet heart blossoms
With sweetness bees go after.
She's a treasured friend of mine.
Healing I find her laughter.

Roses are known for beauty
Mary Anne's heart for its love.
It is sweeter than lilacs
And more gentle than a dove.

She has hair that is brunette
Of coiffures she has no need.
Her heart, I highly treasure
Close to Christ, me, she does lead.

With the sunshine of her heart
Warming hearts she makes an art.
