Heaven to Me

Heaven to Me
Heaven to me is a beautiful thing,
with rainbows that have all their colors to bring.
Animals everywhere bunnies galore,
real sand castles built on the wavy seashore.
Peace all the time, no crying will come,
everyone would have good foods, yum!
My family would be there, Grandaddy too!
They would all hug me and say "I love you."
There would never be war. It would be great!
And it would not matter if you arrived late.
You would not enter for how good you are
even the dragons and kings from so far.
Magic would be there, not just from fairy tales,
not magic tricks magicians would sell at sales.
It would have true spirit to bring
not just the bells that go ding, ding-a-ling.
Everyone there would be treated the same.
no riches, no servants, that would be a shame.
There would be no animals left on the streets,
they would all have warm cosy sheets.
even in winter the flowers would bloom
all the parades would have drums, boom boom!
Heaven to me is a beautiful place,
and it would put a big smile on my face!
