PARADISE
Here is a place for me to live and grow.
A garden filled with hope and dreams.
With the sun and rain and whispering wind In the pines, in the tall grass and streams.
A garden where golden-crowned daffodils Greet violet royalty in spring
And robins and cardinals and mockng birds,
Find their voices anew, and sing.
I believe it is here that I belong.
Where faith and the good earth meet
Away from the din of the noisy throng Where life is simple and sweet.
I place my hand in the hand of God Plant my feet in His budding sod,
And my heart will sing and my soul will live
As the flowers, in the garden of beauty I trod.
