A Very Little Heaven

I am happiest when I am in heaven.

Fortunately, I am a woman of simple tastes

So this is easily achieved:

A place to be unbound in thought

Tho thought be all routine – do this, do that.

My heaven has a little job that earns me what I need to pay my way

In this material world.

It has friends who remember me once in awhile

Who share a call or a note.

Heaven is a place where debts are small, rewards are great:

Where mystery can remain unknown & evil cannot conquer.

My heart knows peace here.

My life means a world, my word a life.

My place is a corner to sit in, a   book with real pages,

Coffee & pasta with my own sauce.

Every moment I greet with a breath

Is heaven.

May it always be so.
