Heaven
To enjoy infinity in bliss seems a dream untouchable
To love without boundries seems a task undoable
To hold happiness in the palm of your hand seems impossible
Woe to the corruption that has plagued and become inevitable
Alas how fickle our lives have strived to become
Indeed we seem to measure happiness by many large a home
Sad is the day we allow mundane chores to be our cheer
And solitude is regarded as a dire and dreaded fear
Oh I remember the day when happiness was measured by laughs
And laughter seemed the order of the day
I remember the days when butterfly hunting seemed an adventurous play
And play was what made our day
Oh what heaven we held . . a life of untold bliss
Subdued I remember my heaven and miss....
