Jesus, Answer My Request
I've a request dear Jesus,
To help me during my life,
Bring peace and joy in my life,
Times when it is filled with strife.

Help me always be thankful,
For good things for me you do.
To the heart of your Mother,
Each day draw me closer to.

Jesus, help me everyday
To live my life to please you.
Help me follow God's Commands,
So real peace they'll lead me to.

During times of temptation,
For holiness help me strive,
On the day of my last breath,
In heaven help me arrive.
When life is far from rosy,
And is a thorn in our side:
We need to turn to Christ our Lord,
So He can open our hearts wide.

Christ wants us to be at peace,
Happy he wants us to be,
He wants to come in our hearts,
He wants us holy and free.

Guide us daily Jesus Christ,
So in life we will not stray:
Be our Light that shows the way,
Listen to us when we pray.

When we find life hard to bear,                    
Show us then that you'll be there.

Come To Me Dear Jesus
I come to you dear Jesus,
During holy mass once more:
Give me your body to eat,
My spirit once more restore.                

If I am in mortal sin,          
To confession help me go,
Before I will receive you,
With a soul as white as snow.        

Jesus, I know you love me,
And want me  to visit you:
I adore you loving Jesus,
With a heart sincere and true.

Dearest sweet Jesus, come to me,
Holy each day help me be.

Happy Mother's Day, Mother
Mother, with your heart this night,
With heaven's stars then compete?
They may shine giving brilliance,
But they will not be stars sweet.

Tonight should I gaze at stars,
You're the one who I'll think of;
To me you're a special star,
Who has showed me how to love.

I know how blessed that I am,
As my mom, God gave me you.
You warmed my heart with sunshine,
To your heart mine is drawn to.

You've a heart of TLC,
That is prized for its beauty.
Yow have showed me how to live,
As you found it your duty.

It's been over a decade,
Since June, Two thousand seven.
I know that you are happy.
Because now you're in heaven.

Carrying life's crosses
We can carry life's crosses,
When we have help from the Lord.
We should live as God wants us,
God's help should not be ignored.

God wants us all to have peace.
And it,  He will help us find.
Life's crosses will get lighter,
And we'll find more peace of mind.

When we live as He wants us,
He will help us through each day.
Helping with the crosses weight,
Through the day with us He'll stay.

The bright sunshine of your heart,
And your smiles with flakes of gold,
Make you very outstanding.
You have a heart warm, not cold.

Why spend time picking up cans,
When your smiles are on the ground?
Your smiles I value much more,
Not just for their gold renowned.    

Their warmth and sunshine I prize
Each smile means so much to me;
Like your heart's core of gold,
Your smiles are ones of beauty.

You give off many of them.    
They shine like your sunshine heart.
I love how they shine brightly.
Each one is a work of art.

I'll leave cans for the can man,
And share your smiles with the poor.
The more I will give away,
You will give me many more.

Having you as a good friend,
I know I am really blessed.
Your heart's love and TLC,
My heart, they sure have impressed

Dear God, I'm very grateful,
For my good friend, Mary Anne,
Whose heart each day gets bigger,
As her love makes it expand.

Help her keep it warm and kind.

And put out much intense heat.

Having a heart very sweet.

When stars go out in heaven,
With more light they are full of;
When her love ignites each star,
It's done peaceful like a dove.

She is my heart's treasured guest;
Because she's a friend of mine,

Your Outstanding Smiles
I want you to know my friend,
More than emeralds that shine,
Brightness in your heart I find,  
Making its way into mine.          

Friend, when it comes to sweetness,
Your heart has very much of.
Your heart is kind and gentle,
Being one profuse with love.

Competing with heaven's stars,
I find your smiles that shine bright.
When heaven's stars cease to shine,
That's when your smiles, them, ignite.

Your smiles sure are outstanding,
Darkness, they can get rid of.
Darkness can not stay near them,.
Due to brightness of your love.

You are a special angel,
My angelic caring friend.
Your heart of golden sunshine,
Has a sparkling, brilliant blend.

Help me in life to not fret.

I love how your eyes sparkle,
Like emeralds are meant to:
I love how you light my heart,  
And I am so glad you do.

It is your sweet, tender care,
That does make my heart unlock.
Your heart does much more healing,    
Even than the herb burdock.            

You're a star without a doubt,
Brighter than the stars above:
Cast thy starlight upon me,
Caring friend with heart of love.

You're a jewel of great worth,  
Though you're not one for a ring:
Around my heart your caring love,
Is where I want it to cling.

Mary Anne, you're an angel,
I've heard that wings you possess;
You lift me up in hard times,
And help me find happiness.

When it is time for takeoff,
In my heart remains your care.
You bring hope into my life,
When I need you, you are there.

Sunshine I find in your heart,
Its warmth never has an end.
My heart searched for TLC,
And found it in your heart, friend.

You're an angel who has wings,
Who makes my smiles brightly glow;
Times when my heart is broken,
Patches, there your love does sew.

Sure as  blizzards do have snow,
My love for you friend does grow,
My heart is lit by your smiles,
Making my face brightly glow.

Mary Anne, you're an angel,
With a loving heart of care.
My heart has a good runway,
You can taxi your love there.
