Heaven on Earth

Flowers all in bloom, a soft whispering breeze

Spring has released us from winters' deep freeze

New life all around, warming the heart to see such sights

The soft sound of a country stream as it moves over the stones on cool summer nights

Children laughing playing, enjoying life without care

Secure in themselves, something precious and rare

Warm feelings inside, assured that someone looks out for us, furnishing us with bliss

A place in our soul permeated with love, where ought goes amiss

Heaven on earth, brought about with our conception

Fabricated with attitudes, a creation of perception

At one with the universe and everything around

Bringing joy, a paradise we have found

When the morning sun greets us and we begin our day

It is up to us to take time to find out a way

We look upon events that shape our lives

We look for the good when discomfort arrives

Perception is a method we can use if we would

To see that if it is not nice, it still may be good

It is not with what we want, that we are freed

But through god, who provides what we need
