EARTHBOUND

Let me forever be earthbound,
basking in the warmth of the sun,
feeling the clean fresh air of spring
when winters' chill is finally done.

Let me forever smell the flowers
that tremble in the gentle breeze;
and dig down in the rich brown earth,
adding more color, as I please.

Flights of fancy in my garden
as butterflies light upon a rose;
Morning glories open in the morning,
and at evening, silently close.

Golden blossoms seem to greet me
and true happiness I have found;
There's no place closer to Heaven -
Let me forever be earthbound.
