Chastity is so crucial,                            
In proving one’s love is true.
It helps us with self-control,
To face life with a clear view.

In single and married life,
We must guard our chastity.
Showing concern for others,
Will help us so we'll be free.

A chaste life is a treasure
  Throughout the stages of life:                                          
It helps maintain a marriage,
Through chaotic times of strife.

That’s where real love flourishes,
Where joys often tag along,
A virtue with great power,
That keeps much from going wrong.

It disciplines our bodies,
Helping us to live lives pure,
It helps us manage our lives.
With the courage to endure.

Hawaii hsd its suggar,
But it's not as sweet as you:
You are sweeter than honey                
To you I'm always drawn to.

You are a senorita,
Who has a heart one of gold:
You are a treasured angel,
Your heart is one never cold.

If I'd move to Hawaii
I sure wish you would come there:
Your heart thar's full of sunshine,
Its light there will always bear.

More renowned than sugar cane
Is your heart that I'll retain.

And live as you call me to.

Following Bethlehem's star,
While in search of the Christ Child;
The three kings led by the star,
Led them to Jesus' heart mild.

To the universal King,
They brought to him frankincense;
They also brought myrrh and gold,  
And their love had no absence.

We also like The Three Kings,
Need to bring him love and praise;
And continue doing so,
All throughout our final days.

Having Jesus as our King,
We've his love everlasting.

Big, dark, clouds are in the sky,
The highways soon won't be clear:
As the thunder shakes the clouds,
Snow on highways will appear.  
  
A snowstorm was predicted,
Would things be at a standstill?
As snow would fall on the roads,
Inches of snow them would fill.

Winds were acting like sandstorms,
Moving snow instead of sand:
Making a picturesque sight,
That is landscaping the land.        

It's not made by a wizard,
Nature has made this blizzard.

Mary Anne's bright, dazzling, smiles,
Flower buds can open wide.
Her smiles bring warmth in my heart,
When her sunshine comes inside.

The cold is more bearable,
With warmth of her smiles bright;
The way in which they stand out,
Makes dark times seem very bright.

Mary Anne's dynamic smiles,
Aren't just known for their sunshine.
They sure know how to lift hearts,
One of these hearts sure is mine.

They come from her heart of gold,
They're welcomed but never sold.

Are kind things to me you say;
Joys in life you help me find,
In a very special way.

Friend, you make life glorious,
Making it victorious,
