A place for love

I want my heart to be like the earth’s first garden
That place where man had his first home
Planted with flowers of every shape, size, color, shade and hue
Where blossoms are in eternal bloom
And petals that with dew ever glistens like diamonds
Reflect an eternal glow and sunlight
The air shall forever resound with the singing of happy birds
While the humming of busy bees shall never cease
Joy and happiness shall be the song of the flowers and the trees

In my heart’s garden there must be an abundance of fruit trees
Reflecting indecision on their part
For there must be colorful blooms emitting heady aromas
Crowning fruits that are halfway to maturity
In bunches side by side with glowing ripe fruits
That are begging to be picked and eaten
All this on one tree of which there are a thousand and more
For there shall never cease to be an abundance of pleasant sights
And things tantalizing to the nostrils and melodious to the ears

My heart’s garden shall not be complete without a stream running through it
For every spot and corner must be well watered
The soil fertile and well manure for abundance
And I shall add canals and bridges
For one spot must be reached from the next
There shall be seats and benches underneath the shade trees
Steps to climb underneath arches of blossoms and blooms
And paths to walk while enjoying the cool breeze
Oh yes, there has to be a waterfall

My garden must be the ideal spot for love
And the ideal place for God and man to tryst
For Eden’s paradise was lost to man by Adam
The temples in Jerusalem destroyed and no longer exists
But still there must be a place for God and man to meet
And my heart can be that ideal place
Oh joy, oh bliss, all is not hopeless, all is not gone
The paradise of Eden was lost to Adam
But it can be restored in the heart of man

For long before I entertained the thought
God went ahead and did his part
