We were never promised,
A rose garden life would be,
But something so much better,
That God wants to set hearts free.

We're asked to open our hearts,
There, God wants to come inside;
And make each life happier
Having Joys there multiplied.

God promised that He'd love us,
And listen when we do pray;
The greatest heart Physician,
Answers our calls night and day.

Dear Lord, I know you love me,    
And want what is best for me:
The things that I'm in need of,
Please give me them graciously.

Your wisdom, lavish on me,        
I ask of you this request:
Help me to stay far from sin,
All sin, Lord, help me detest.

Lord, for all you've given me,  
Gratitude to you I give:                            
Help me to be more like you,
And show me how I should live.

Give me the strength and courage,
When I find life hard to face,
My life in your loving hands,
Is where it, I want to place.

Black locust flowers are sweet.
When they grow wild they are free.
Due to the trees' profuse thorns,
Picking them is not easy.

Their fragrance can be carried,
By the wind from blocks away.
It's when their blooms start to fade,                                                  
Their fragrance we wish would stay.

Though their blooms will disappear,
We'll yearn their return next year.

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

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

The Auora borealis,
Is this bright heavenly light show.
Friend, I find your heart much brighter,
And purer than a pristine snow.

The Auora borealis,
Is a beautiful sight to see.
Mary Anne, it's your awesome smiles,
That I find even more lovely.

You have a heart with a gold core.
On your heart  are diamond chips.
Your heart is sure bright with sunshine,
Even in a solar eclipse.

Your heart has a core of pure gold,
Worth much more than Spanish doubloons.
It is your heart that lifts me up,
Higher than all hot air balloons.

Diamonds are priceless jewels,
And can sparkle bright with sunlight,
But can't outshine your lovely smiles.
In them, friend, I take great delight.

Friend, your heart is amazing.
The love it has is immense.
When your heart is not nearby,
I sure do feel its absence.

Sweet flowers you make sweeter,
Those that are not sweet you make.
Flowers that are in slumber,
Your heart's sunshine does awake.

Aurora borealis,
Is in need of one more star.
Your name has been suggested,
For shining bright from afar.

Your heart is highly renowned.
With your love my heart you've crowned.

From snow clouds on St. Val's Say,
Came a real rare sight to see.
Pristine, white, heart shaped snowflakes,
Floated in air graciously.

The sky was a big ballroom.
Millions of flakes could be found.
It was before they did land,
We could see them waltz around.

The snow tufts found on branches,
Had weighed down the trees of pine.
As the sun shone on the drifts,
They sparkled and bright did shine.

Heart shaped flakes that filled the air,
Made their way on people's hair.

Dear God, you designed me,
So I have so much beauty:
Help me to be more like you,
Strong like you help me to be.

Give me the strength and the grace,
To be able to forgive:
Wisdom, dear Lord give to me,
So healthy my soul will live.

Lord, please be part of my life,
And give me what most I need:
For you, help me live my life,
So I won't be seeking greed.

Give me help I need in life,                  
When I'm confronted with strife.

Peaceful,  help me that I'll be.
In my life  loving kindness,
Help me, Mother soon to see.

On an August summer night,
Moonflowers were in full bloom;    
Their beauty and  sweet fragrance,
Was  satiny with  perfume.      

By the moon's light . one could see,
On the limbs of the peach trees;      
Peaches of red hanging there,
It was seventy degrees.

The Milky Way could be seen,
Easily in a clear view;
The crickets' sound could be heard,
Real clearly the whole night through.

It was on this August night,
I had taken much delight.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is a very special one.
It's a fact you are a star,
Though your heart is not a sun.

Your heart is full of sunshine,
But doesn't have extreme heat:
It's one that is full of love,
And it's also very sweet.

Your heart is known for beauty,
In it, there's much TLC.
As your heart keeps on growing,
So much more virtues we'll see.

The bouquet found in your heart,
Is truly a work of art.

It was on St. Pat's Day night,
Green light was seen in the  sky.
Stars weren't the main attraction,
Do you know the reason why?

Giant shamrocks in the sky,
Had made the stars appear wee.
When your smiles had reached them,
They then shone with much beauty.

Gold and bright light from your heart,
Brightly had ricocheted there;
As far as the eyes could see,
Gold flakes floated everywhere.


Shamrocks out on St. Pat's night,
Filled the sky with sheer delight.

I want you truly happy,
In your heart I want God's peace,
It's your heart I want tranquil,
Your joys I hope will increase.    

Your heart sure is attractive,  
With light heaven's stars can't give.
