Heaven

Escape with me to a world unknown
Where nothing matters except love and life;
Where children play without fear -
No more hardship, no more strife.

Where roses bloom throughout the winter
And grass nor trees ever die;
Where sunshine is a friend, not an enemy -
And no one is ever sad to cry.

A place where no evil egos exist
So there is never a person who is mean;
There, all the world is a splendid place -
And ugly faces are never seen.

I close my eyes and see this place
With castles cascading from the air;
Where money nor gold is a requirement -
And in all the land, nothing is unfair.

A land where people are not afraid to love
And hearts are given without fear;
Where laughter and happiness fill every day -
We'll live for each moment year after year.
