*i found this poem in a book, i forget which book it was. I really like it, and i hope you do too*

~PaRaDiSe~


I never thought it would be Paradise
I walked a rugged pathway from the start
No ugliness was hidden from my eyes
Nor was life's pain a stranger to my heart
And yet, the Earth sprung firm beneath my feet
And summer winds were gentle to my hair
I breathed upon the dusk, and found it sweet
I gazed upon the dawn and found it fair
I know gray moors where shadow mists lie curled
And sunbright streams and night skies rich with stars
For all its faults, I so have loved this World
And found it beautiful, despite its scars
Though Angels sing of glories greater still
I leave in Sadness, much against my will.
