Where is Heaven?

"Then where is Heaven?", asked the puzzled child

The Wise One took her tiny hand and smiled

Then swept an arm across the earth and sky,
"It is right here, never far and not too high

Look with your Heart, my little one, and See

For all who find their peace within are free;

So search for beauty always in all things

For ever from the Soul true Heaven springs"

Gifts

I gave my first love laughter,

I gave my second tears,

I gave my third love silence,

Through all the years.

My first love gave me singing,

My second eyes to see,

But oh, it was my third love

Who gave my soul to me.
