Paradise

Woke up when the roosters began to crow 
Before the sun was to rise into view 
And then the colors turned a fiery hue 
The day greeted good morning with a show 

Soothed by the waves crashing against the shore 
As the sunshine beamed in the golden hour 
And the wind whispered sweet words in the air 
The day slowed with each moment to savor 

Lulled as the songbirds sang in harmony 
While the breeze blew all the worries away 
And the world burst into colors to see 
The day went as lovely as it can be 

No matter where we are or where we go 
I find paradise when I am with you
