Paradise < !signature-->By: Amy M. Kennedy I look up at the sky The most gorgeous blue greets my eyes The pine trees stand tall and green reaching for the heavens Paradise I watch the butterflies chase one another Without a care in the world…I deeply sigh Peace has found a way into my soul once again Paradise The rays of the sun shine down all around me The ocean breeze playfully teases my skin Flowers of every aroma fill the air Paradise This day is so perfect I can hear the birds sing a happy song Life doesn’t get much more beautiful than this Paradise The Carolina day comes to an end Once more I look up to the heavens Now the colors almost blind me Paradise Orange, red, yellow, purple paint the sky The sun coming down to rest Can hear the crickets chirp as night settles in Paradise This day makes me think of life And the awesome power who created it Overcome with peace I slowly close my eyes Paradise  ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 04-09-2000).] |

"Paradise by the dashboard light. . ." Pardon the reference. . . the idea is that Paradise can be anywhere. . . and for you, it's that beautiful Carolina moon. . . Excellent poem, my friend. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

May I say Amen? This was awesome, Amy. Some days I feel like heaven is close enough to touch - you capture that feeling completely in this poem. Beautiful. Michael |
