Guardian angel, stay with me,
Everyday God's will, help me see:
Give me the strength to do God's will,
On heaven's road, there please guide me.

Guard me throughout all of my life,
At life's last hour, then with me be.
Courageously help me forgive.
I ask you to stay close to me.

During times when I am tempted,
Show me how God wants me to live,
When I am in need of advice,
Bountifully, it , to me give.

Guardian angel, stay with me,
At times when I am lost, guide me.

Respect Life
If we're to love our neighbors,
We can't leave out the unborn:
We must show them protection,
It's their lives we must not scorn.

Our lives first had DNA                  
The moment we were conceived:          
We weren't blobs of our mom's cells,    
Don't let ourselves be deceived.

Even if our mom's blood type,
Is the same type that we got:
Things still get even clearer,                      
When unlike mom's ours are not.      

The babies born and unborn,
Are gifts to moms from above.
Let's show all babies respect,
And unconditional love.

As we  enter life's next stage,  
The same person still we'll be:
Our country must obey God,    
If we're truly to be free.

Dear, Blessed Mother Mary,
Your sweet, tender love, us, give.
Show us how we are to love,
In peace, show us how to live.

Worldly things, help us not seek,
If from God they make us stray.
Draw us close to God each day,
And help us know how to pray.    

Help us to pursue wisdom,
Blessed Mother dressed in blue;
When we confront life's trials,
Through life's rough times help us through.

Show us how we're to replace,
hate with love, that we'll embrace.
ear Blessed Mother Mary,
When we find life difficult,
Then dear Lord be at our side:          
Come into our hearts, dear Lord,
There we want you to abide.

When times are topsy-turvy,
Then bring to us, Lord your peace:
Life's joys that are camouflaged,
Reveal them, have them increase.

Dear good and thoughtful Jesus,
You know what we're in need of:
Give us your care and kindness,
And especially your love.

Easier make life to live
When needed, wisdom do give.

Thanks, Lord for your Commandments,
That help us to live in peace.
And help us to show concern,
For others so joys increase.

To heal our hearts when they're ill.

Your peace in them, Lord instill.

When your help we're in need of,
Give it to us with your love.

My Treasured Friend
Numerous as heavens' stars,
And the sand on the seashore,
Are the joys you bring to me,
I'm unable to ignore.

Your heart  of golden sunshine,
In it friend I take delight.
You fill my heart with brightness,
My heart with love you ignite.

Heaven's stars have their beauty,
But they don't have TLC.
You are the star I treasure,
Who means very much to me.

You are a friend very dear,
I treasure throughout each year.
Like you, Mother, help me live.    
Encourage me to forgive.
For God help me live my life,
Especially when there's strife.

The hearts of others help me win,
To sin help me close my heart:
Like Jesus help me to be,
Evil help me want no part. 

Help me to say yes like you,
To what Jesus calls me to:
 A pure life, help me to live,
Holiness, help me pursue.

To Jesus help me turn to.
Help me, Mother live like you.

Help us know what to do, Lord,        
Courageous help us to be:      
Make us wise, give us your Light,
So what we should do we'll see.

We give you gratitude, Lord,
Our love for you has no end:          
You are not only our God,
You are our forever friend.

God wants us all to be a saint,
So with him someday we'll be.
In his glorious kingdom,
For all of eternity.

In order to be a saint,
Clever we don't have to be,
We are called to be loving,                            
And live lives that are holy.

Poem to St. Joseph
I've a request, St. Joseph,
Help me have integrity,        
Help me express daily,
Reverence and charity.  

Help me think right with clearness,
As you  did while on the earth:
Help me to be more like you,      
Help me so I'll show my worth.        

Help me not be aggressive
To others but kind and meek:      
The good that is in others,
St. Joseph, it help me seek.            

A life that pleases God most,
Help me so it I'll pursue:
To Jesus the Good Shepherd,
Help me always to be true.

Respect Life Sonnet
If we are to love our neighbors,                 
The unborn we  must then love too.:
No matter how small they may be,
They're protection we must pursue.

So many aborted babies,                             
Have mothers who for their babes mourn:
We must respect innocent lives,
Unborn humans we must not scorn.

The moment we were first conceived,        
We were not cells of our mother:
We have individual lives,                        
Our lives weren't part of an other.


Our nation is in need of laws,
That will protect life with no flaws.

Strength, we need each day dear Lord,
Generously, to us give,
Lord, please give us your wisdom,
Show me the way we should live.

Virtues matter in our lives,      
Help us Lord to live them out:
Help us know what we should do,
When in life we have a doubt

Help us thirst for what if is right,
That is what's pleasing to you:
Help our lives be ones holy,
To you Lord, help us be true,

When we repent from our sin
Help it to be genuine.

At first found are very few.

They'll be seen in clearer view.

The light that they've given off,
Is seen from light years afar.

Many make constellations,
That are viewed on earth by us,
With the use of telescopes,

When I Find Life Burdensome
When I find life burdensome,
And real difficult to live,
Lord, then brighten up my life,
Joys then in my life please give.

During life's darkest moments,
Brilliant light from your heart shine;
Lord, have your heart shine brightly,
In a way that is Divine.

When I find life burdensome,      
Hope then I am in need of,
In these times when I feel low,
What picks me up is your love.

When I find life burdensome,
Your wisdom, Lord, I welcome.
