Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

Paradise

Places of significance to me
		Always lift my spirits for a while.
		Regal settings depicted in books
		Amaze me, but none can make me smile,
		Delight me, like Heaven, as described
		In God's Word--city of pure gold. There
		Saints bask in the Savior's love. For all
		Eternity, each is called His heir.

King James Bible Dictionary--Paradise: "Heaven, blissful seat of sanctified souls after death."
