Third Planet From Heaven

We're a lot closer
To heaven
Than we ever thought
There are so many colors,
Sounds, emotions,
And we really ought....

To be very thankful 
For this fine world,
Where life is everywhere,
On the ground,
In the sea,
Flying in the air

But above all, 
Other than God,
The greatest joy we share,
Is as simple as,
The knowledge that,
Someone else does care.


For my friends, lovers,
And all others.
