How do you like the weather,
Mary Anne, good friend of mine?
In Missouri's bitter cold,
I bet your heart still does shine.

Intense heat does it give out,
It's too cold for that to be;
That's for stars in the heavens,
Your heart gives warmth, I can see.

Your heart is one warm enough,
To keep icicles away;
So it is never icy,
Bringing bright light in the day.

Your gold smiles , Mary Anne,
From your heart come there in flakes;
They are ones of high grade ore,
Collecting them brings high stakes.

Keep warm on bitter cold days,
At least try the best you can;
If it's at all possible,
Try to get warm, Mary Anne.

Dear Lord be our Ph. D.,
For love, Lord, our hearts do make.      
Our hearts heal and set them free,
When troubled and when they ache.

Lord, you also were conceived,
To show when life first has worth.
Other stages then do follow,
As long as we're here on earth.

Help us obey your commands,
So mind and heart both are free:
Bestow on us your wisdom,
And also. Lord, your mercy.

I saw a star and made a wish,
The prized star that I saw was you:
I was overwhelmed by your heart,
Heavenly stars I'm not drawn to.

Heavenly stars can be helpful,
In navigating the night skies,      
But my heart has no place for them,
You are the star of which I prize.

Yes, you are the star I wished on,
Earthly wealth was not my request:
I wished that you would care for me,
And that you would be my heart's guest.

I saw you star and made a wish,
God's will you'd help me accomplish.

Little Miss Sunshine
There's a little lass I know,
Whose heart beams with bright sunshine.
It's her heart of TLC,
That's cherished like vintage wine.

The sun is a brilliant star,
And is medium in size.
Mary Anne's heart I find big,
And it I surely do prize.

Sunshine from her heart is seen
Radiating beauty bright.
Her heart gives off more sunshine,
Than do heavens stars at night.

Though she's older than I am,
It's her sunshine heart I prize.
It gets sweeter by the day,
And it also gets more wise.

Little Miss Sunshine's bright heart,
I find gentle, warm and kind.
Heaven's stars do not have gold,
But in her heart, it, I find.

And show it how it should love.

And show me how I should live:
The strength I am in need of,
Bountifully to me give.

Jesus, take hold of my heart,
Make blues in my heart depart.
