I'M Just Glad I Came (Rubaiyat)

Flowers upon flowers lined the garden way
I feel the sunshine as I’m walking today
Seeing the beauty, smell the floral scent
Forever may it last, for this I will pray

I take in all the beauty, for which it was meant
As I travel this path and make my descent
I may just stay and forever live here still
For God is the owner and requires no rent

The beauty abounds as I am yet on this hill
It’s amazing to see, it provides such a thrill
I’m glad I had chosen to come here today
Did I really choose, or was it His will?
