Paradise, they say is a place of exceptional pleasure ‘n delight
Is it really the same, what I experience each day ‘n every night?
The smile that reaches your eyes, cherubic radiant angelic, a bit divine
Shines in my soul, glazes my insides, isn’t that really the heaven I presumed as mine?
You sprint to me, enclose me in a soft cuddle, a warm embrace
isn’t that the bliss, the joy I would feel nestled, cradled in His grace?
Your tiny clasp holds my hand, tugs at my heart, renders me whole
Isn’t that, I fancied I’d reap from the speculated seraphic paradisal stroll
The glimmer, glow, sparkle, that twinkle of your playful eyes
Isn’t it, the celestial elysian astral light shining in your guise?
At night as you meander close, burying your face close to mine
A whiff of your baby scent sends me closer to heaven than a sacred shrine
People may long, pine, dream about heaven, that elusive paradise
Count me out, O’ folks for the smithereens I have here will suffice
When I became a mother, in my baby I found my earth ‘n universe combined
In her I found my heaven; eternal sunshine, love, hopes,
dreams ‘n all the joys intertwined!!
