Mary Anne's St. Val Heart
During dark times found in life,
Mary Anne's heart shines real bright:    
Her smiles ricochet in space,
And make quenched stars there ignite.      

When her love comes in my heart,
Blues in life are then seldom.      
The love in Mary Anne's heart              
Is what my heart does welcome.        

Treasured hearts like hers are few,
The stars would like to take tours,
To see Mary Anne's rare heart,
From which so much beauty pours.

It's Mary Anne's St. Val heart,
That is sweet and never ****.

When I find life in shambles,
And life appears near its worst  
Lord, help me love my neighbors,
And put You in my life first.

Lord, help my heart to open,    
So that love can come inside.
My heart is much like a rosebud.    
Love's light can open it wide.          

Lord, help my heart to endure,
Living ways that do please you.
To your heart, Lord, draw mine close,
Holy, Lord, help me be too.

Shambles don't let my life be.
Help my life to be sturdy.

Sweetness of fragrant roses,
In Mary Anne's heart is found,
A sweetness highly renowned;
My heart with it she has crowned.

Roses have gorgeous petals
That will bloom and later fade.
When Mary Anne's heart flowers,
Lovely memories are made.

Her heart's sweetness continues
To be treasured much by me.
Her love has lassoed my heart,
In a way very gently.

You're a real treasured friend of mine,
With happiness my life you fill.
My heart when it needs bright sunshine,
In my heart, there, ,it, you instill.

When the stars' dust is lit up by,
Their positively charged atoms;
There's an incredible light show,
Most everybody sure welcomes.

The Aurora borealis,
Is a beautiful sight to see;
Mary Anne, it's your awesome smiles ,
That I always find so lovely.

You have a heart with a gold core,
That's covered with diamond chips;
Your heart radiates bright sunshine,
Even in a solar eclipse.

The gold that is found in your heart,
Is worth more than Spanish doubloons;
Your TLC sure lifts me up,
Higher than large, hot, air balloons.

Diamonds are precious jewels,
And can sparkle with sunlight bright;
But won't outshine your lovely smiles,
As they glow bright both day and night.

Each day, Lord, help me to see.  
Help me that I won't be blind,
And do what you want of me.

To get it out, Lord, help me;
Good others may try to do,        
With love, Lord, help me to see.            

Help me be able to see,
What you're calling me to do.
The light of your love, dear Lord,
It, Lord, help me to pursue.

Help Me, Lord, So I Can See,
When and what you want of me.

And most everything goes wrong:
Then, dear Lord be at our side,
Giving us strength to be strong.

When we find life fall apart,
Help us, dear Lord to take heart:

Don't let our lives fall apart.

It is with your help, dear Lord,
Through life's rough times we'll pull through:
Help us live in holiness:
In all that we say and do.    

In life, Lord, help us succeed,
To your Commands help us heed.
