John Hamilton Poet Acrostic

Paradise-Acrostic

PARADISE

P alm trees swaying in a tropical breeze
A bsolute beauty intoxicates, and frees me
R adiant smiles on happy children's faces
A s they gaze upon fading rainbows traces
D oubt and fear are no longer paralyzing
I nnocence reclaims it's place, all dreams realizing
S pectacular sunrise and sunset every day
E verlasting life's pleasures, coming our way!
