Paradise

Where is the paradise?
That's in the heart of mine!


     Strong like a bold
     And pure like the Gold;
     Where respect lies
     For elders and old.


From where hopes arise
And live the virtues divine;
There is the paradise
In the heart of mine!


     Where is faith profound
     And it is zeal-abound;
     It allows only truth, and
     Produces pray-like sound.


Like a bird, it flies
Like a star it does shine;
There is the paradise
In the heart of mine!


     If one has sorrow
     It takes it borrow;
     At one's agony, it cries
     That is the sign-
     There is the paradise
     In the heart of mine!
