Some find a heaven in a sound health,
Some in abundant wealth,
Some in a dazzling dome,
And some others in a humble home!
Some find a heaven in a renowned reward,
Some in a kind and soothing word,
Some in a pretty and alluring face,
And some others in life's honest Race!
Alas! Some find a heaven in hurting innocent hearts,
Some in playing ugly and ignoble parts,
Some in marring others' sweet Mirth,
And some others in aborting a legitimate birth!
But, I find my heaven in the wellbeing of all,
In everyone's rise, and in no one's fall,
In turning others' tears into pearly joy drops,
And in cultivating and reaping my own Destiny's Crops!
