Could This Be Eden
Across the great river so deep and wide,
With treacherous cliffs on either side.
The journey is perilous with many dangers along the way,
Fierce and deadly animals and snakes that lay in wait for unsuspecting prey.
Should you make it through all this you will find the hidden key,
An ancient tribe of people that time had forgotten and that live in a tree.
Some how unknown they speak our language quite well,
And I know what you’re thinking and no they do not have a tail.
They are short in stature and are covered with an abundance of hair,
They are also quite generous with their possessions and are eager to share.
When you look in their faces’ it’s like they wear a permanent smile,
And their eyes actually twinkle as they invite you to stay for awhile.
Not one modern thing do these friendly little people own,
Just gentleness and kindness, and presented the way it is supposed to be shown.
Well I just had to tell of this place but I cannot tell where,
For I would hate to see corruption and greed enter into their lives out there.
