They Paved Paradise.

Goldfinch60



We see those times in our lives

Where everything is so wonderful,

People love each other,

Going about their lives in happiness.

Where we have all before us,

And joy is all around.

All that is meaningful to us

Is within our lives,

And sorrow is never there.

 

Help to others is always given,

Nobody goes without

As there is enough for all.

The smiles in all our faces

Show the kindness towards each other

That will never be missing,

We know that we are there,

And have found Paradise.

 

We then awake,

And find that Paradise

Was paved with our dreams.

    A fine write Gold.
    Hooray - one good thing at least is coming out of the 'evil' of the present time. They are not making episodes of EastEnders!
    That should be the least of our concerns though.

      Thanks Orchi.

      Or Crossroads!

        And - any news on banning 'Neighbours'? It shouldn't affect soap actors. They're all made of wood!

          Excellent piece and such a meaningful message.

          Fortunately we can find places in this paradise which refresh and renew our spirit and faith. It goes without saying that in these unusual times that faith becomes a strength.

          Stay well.

            First class impression of a credible title and apt for the topic - good that you are using the net for the group - - - every best wish for this one Andy.
