On roads cars are traveling,
Out west a blizzard draws near;
With it a white wonderland
That will make cars hard to steer.

The snow is full of tire tracks,
On streets and highways they're seen.
The blizzard as it comes in,
Douses sky with flakes pristine.

Roads have snow five inches high,
Snow tracks, flakes now start to fill;
From the blizzard taking place,
Landing on road, plain, and hill.

Will the side streets get salted,
When the salt trucks get sent out?
Not enough salt is stockpiled
To be put on every route.

When traffic comes to a halt,
The snowflakes white and pristine;
Keep landing on the tire tracks,
Until they no more are seen.

The countryside of Ireland,
Is where Mary Anne does go.
When she vacations Ireland,
With sunshine Ireland does glow.

From her heart of bright sunshine,
Her contagious smiles are lit
Each one is full of beauty,
All of Ireland will admit.

Ireland has its emeralds,
But the jewel that's prized most,
Is the heart of Mary Anne,
That's treasured from coast to coast.

The folk of Ireland delight,
In her visits there for sure.
Her heart has esteemed sunshine,
Her smiles, bright, it makes occur.

It's when she is in Ireland,
Ireland's beauty is more grand.
Her warm, gentle, caring heart,
Sure knows how to understand.

It was on blooming flowers,
On apple trees one could see,
Eyes gazing on their beauty,
That was a sight heavenly.

As a windstorm made its way,
Through trees petals it did strew,
Many petals filled the air,
But those then on trees were few.

To the ground they made their way,
The ground then had become white;
The ground became a carpet,
In which people took delight.

With apple blossoms blooming,
The air they'd been perfuming.

When the wheat from fields are reaped,  
There's much work yet to be done.
Stalks are then cut and harrowed,
Then they're dried by wind and sun.

The work done by the bailer,
Compacts straw that's in furrows,
After twine tightens the straw,
Each bale off the baler goes.

Today lets forget the gym,    
It's the day that we make straw.
It's time to work our muscles.
From rest it's time to withdraw.

There'll be work on the trailer,  
And there'll be work on the field.
The work is more exhausting,        
Where the wheat had a good field.

Bales are brought to the trailer,    
Where they're thrown then stacked on it.
The work is sure exhausting,
But its not yet time to quit.

Byhe bale escalator, 
To the barn times bales are brought.
When there's no escalator,
We then work more than we ought.

Stacking bales inside the barn,  
Laborious it's there too;
When the bales are put away,
To the kitchen we head to.

We need your motherly love,
Dear Blessed Mother Mary;
At times when we need your help,
Please respond without tarry.

We ask you, Mother, to be,
Of help in doing God's will.
Speak for us on our behalf,
So peace in our hearts He'll fill.

Be with us Blessed Mother,
Heaven help us search and find;
Like you when you were on earth,
Help us Mother to be kind.

Help us be obedient,
To God draw us closer near;
For lives full of holiness,
Help us always persevere.

When we find life burdensome,
Help us not give up on life.
Help us to be courageous,
When we find life full of strife.

As the sun glistens on snow,
The flakes then begin to melt:
Bitter cold makes its way in,
And its brutal pain is felt.

It is hard for snow to melt,      
When the degrees get this low:
The blizzard is in full steam,
And the temp is ten below.

We'll go in and make a fire,
Where no bitter winds will be:
I want weather hot or warm,
Cold days I don't want to see.

Keep your cold and snowy days,
Give me them warm, sunny rays.

I hope on this Christmas day,
Joys profuse will come our way;
And that we will find blessings,
And sunshine to warm the day.

When we spend time with loved ones,    
A memory we will make.
When we're at Christmas  dinner,
Our appetites will partake.

Will light of the Christmas star,
Warm the manger that's below,
Underneath the Christmas star?
Will the magi, it, follow?

A birthday gift for Jesus,
Is to do his Father's will;
A gift appreciated.
Joys in Jesus' heart will fill.

Thanks, Lord, for the apple trees,
Full of beauty while in bloom.
They are a delightful surprise,
With aromatic perfume.

Blossoms in white, pink, and red,
Depending upon the tree,
Make a treasured, marveled sight,  
Gorgeous and full of beauty,

Thanks, Lord, for their petals,
Like conifer they're renowned,      
As they delight the senses,
With an aroma profound.          

When on ground their petals land,
A plush carpet can be found;
While they are still in the air,
One can see them float around.

As the apples start to form,
Green apples on branches cling.
They're a fruit that's highly prized,
To eat after ripening.

Lord, help us not be anxious,
For earthly things that will pass:
Help us seek heavenly things
That eternally will last.

Dear Lord, help us to please you.
In all that we say and do,
A holy life every day,
Always help us to pursue,

Lord, help us not be anxious,
In life happy help us be,
Help us see how to please you,
Joy in life help us to see.

Anxious, Lord help us not be,
Unless it helps us, please Thee.

Happy birthday, Mary Anne,
With your love my heart you crown.
Your beauty is highlighted,
With your blue eyes and hair brown.

I hope you find your birthday,
Filled with tranquil peace and joy.
When it comes to hearts that love,
Your heart is the real McCoy.

Fourteen karat flakes of gold,
From your smiles fall to the ground.
What I treasure in your heart,
Is the love there that is found.

You're a friend I sure care for.
Happy birthday, Mary Anne.
Keep filling hearts with sunshine,
And being sweet as you can.

My dear guardian angel,
Please help me throughout the day.
At times when I am tempted,
With guidance show me the way.

Protect me from the devil,
When he tries to steal my soul.    
Help me stay faithful to God,
So I won't have an idol.

Help me to love my neighbors,
The way God calls me to love,
And say no to earthly things,
Not approved by God above.

My guardian angel dear,
To God draw ne closer near.

In times when life seems perplexed,
And we see hope far from near:
By putting our trust in God,
Joys in life we'll see appear.

Life isn't always rosy,
Miserable at times it gets:
When things don't go as we want,
We might haul in empty nets.

God wants us to be happy,
Joys in life He'll help us find:
God wants us to be grateful,      
And to long for peace of mind.

Lead us to heaven, dear, Lord,
By us, there you'll be adored.

A time when seeds shed their coats,
And the days become more grand.

A time when the flowers wake up,
With foliage robust and green;
When freezing weather says farewell,
And the spring flowers can be seen.

I wish they would be eating pears,
As real profuse these trees would bear.

Roses and so many flowers,
Make a real, rare, picturesque  sight;
Amidst drapes of catalpa blooms,
There is a sight of grand delight.

With  limbs of white catalpa blooms,,      
The catalpa trees are well draped;
Their blooms release a light fragrance,     
What a lovely place well landscaped.

Mary Anne, has a gold heart,    
It's one I find very sweet:                              
She means very much to me,          
Her I sure do love to meet.              

Hawaii has its sugar cane,              
Uvalde has much honey:            
She's sweeter than both of them,
And she makes each day sunny.          


Fushia blooms are very sweet,     
For perfume they are renowned  
Mary Anne's heart is well known,      
Her love in hearts does abound.

It is when there is a drought,    
Many plants then wilt and fade:    
Unlike plants during a drought,
Lively Mary Anne will stay.

She is that señorita,        
Who has a heart one of gold:      
Her heart is warm and caring,
And it never does grow cold.

If I'd visit Hawaii
And in Mizzou' she would be:    
There too I wish I would be,                
So that her then I could see.

Citrus trees while they're in bloom,
Then bear sweet petals of white;
It's while they are blossoming,
Noses and eyes do delight.

When winds blow through citrus trees,
Eyes, their petals will astound.
As they freely dance about,    
Waltzing petals there are found.    

Citrus petals at twilight,
With light from each shining star;
Are a sight that's truly grand,
And very spectacular.

For the beauty of the heavens,
I give my thanks, dear Lord to Thee::
Crickets and frogs that play music.
Are a grand orchestra to me.

For the rippling streams of water,
Where I obtain my daily food:
Where animals come for water,
I am  thankful with gratitude.

For watercress that lives in streams
I collect to go with my meals:
When it's in a bright green color,
Its healthiness it then reveals.

For friends that I can confide in,
Thanks, dear Lord for sending my way:
When I find life dark and dismal,
They bring  sunshine into my day.

Most of all, Lord I am grateful,
For your love for me without end:
You  bring hope and joy in my life,
Lord, you are my forever friend.
