Fly me to Heaven

Blow me a breeze with the scent of a rose
Fill up the sky with the sun’s golden glows
Warm me with sunshine and bathe me in spray
Sail me to islands and shores far away

Count me the stars in the heavens at night
Sing me the songs of a sea bird in flight
Take me to paradise, give me your love
Fly me to heaven on wings of a dove

Take me to places I’ve not seen before
Lay me on crystal white sands on the shore
Walk me in seafoam and catch me a wave
And I will find peace in the promise you gave

Lace me a necklace of primrose and love
Fly me to heaven on wings of a dove

how sweet the ride to heaven is with this one, Elizabeth, you are one of my favorite poets.

Very very nice Liz. Had to make myself read and not sing....

"Or, like the thief of fire from heaven,
Wilt thou withstand the shock?
And share with him - the unforgiven-
His vulture and his rock?"
