And I Promise You Paradise... Poem by Mousheera Shafik

How heaven can be heaven if you just don't smile?
For you darling I'd walk a million miles….
I'll get to the sun and I'll shine through,
I'll gleam so strongly just for you.
One tear of yours can make me die,
What on earth is worthy to make you cry?
It's alright that one shanty fell down,
Together we'd build our stunning crown.
You give me hope, you give me faith,
You fulfill my life with your warmth and grace,
And every time you're down I'll be there and never disguise
Because methinks that you're the one who's promised paradise
