Some people dream of a city so fair, br Waiting for them at the top of the stairs br golden streets to walk up and down br A long white robe, a scepter, a crown. br Ivory palaces and great marble walls, br Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and all br These are the sights that they want to see, br But this is not heaven for me. br br I dream of pastures lush and green. br A tree on a knoll overlooking a stream. br Cattle a grazing and lowing nearby br Deer in the meadow, the breeze gentle sigh. br A purring old cat curled up by my side, br A horse and a dog will closely abide. br In blue jeans and T-shirt, here's where I'd be br For this is what heaven would be like for me.br br Alma M.
