Heaven Poem by Dann Thomas

God carefully dusted colour on the butterflies.
He let the rivers dance through the mountains
And hand painted every sunset and sunrise.

Into the mouth of every bird he placed a song.
Shaped out every creature small, tall and long,
With eyes to see the wonders of the earth they belong.

He flung stars across the skies to light up the darkness.
Bent the back of the rainbow with coloured droplets.
Gave breath to the wind and planted the great forests.

Seeing that it was all good, he finally created man and woman.
They then looked around at this wonderful intricate magic woven
And said ' This is all very well, but we'd still need a heaven'
