Paradise
by cricketjeff on October 5, 2008. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
When dreams, half-heard, were all the hopes I had
And love a rumour from a foreign land.
There didn’t seem a reason to be sad
The best of life I could not understand.
Before we met I did not know my mind,
Could never have believed what I now know.
For then my life was surely all behind
A memory of passion long ago.
But life was changed in words from far away
I’ve learnt the subtle skills of happiness
I welcome things I dreaded yesterday
I used to dream of love I now possess
My love you make me whole and show me how
To find the paradise in here and now
