Sitting alone under a shaded tree.

Letting a cool summer breeze envelope me.

Taking a stand on my own.

Even when that means standing alone.

Is paradise

Thinking of all the blessings that have come my way.

Praising God every day.

Knowing that there’s much more to come.

Being grateful for the breath of life.

Learning to deal with strife.

Is paradise.

Looking at myself layer by layer.

Giving everything to God in prayer.

Is paradise.

Nothing on earth gives me greater pleasure.

God’s love is beyond measure.

It’s paradise.
