living in paradise

living in paradise

so what is it like living in paradise singing eternally
as a chorus of souls and angels ever praise the lord
fluttering above the diamond ice rejoicing internally
here there are no strangers and no time to be bored
or in heaven are the beloved waiting behind the gate
all eager and anxious to hold to hug and to welcome
hearing the tales of blood and the unfolding of a fate
the wings are ready to enfold now that a life is done
is the glorification complete the creation of the savior
clad in white ghostly robes the ambrosia cups await
all sins washed a life replete in immaculate behavior
upon reaching the final abode that justifies every fate
or is paradise the life of now to understand and accept
living in love and hope somehow while avoiding regret
