Heaven on Earth

Life’s not a puzzle to outsmart,
But an adventure for the heart
Health and happiness we seek,
So often chasing quick relief
Through pills and shots and long-drawn plans,
Believing more is in our hands
But seeking beauty is the key—
Fresh air, the sun, simplicity
Get off the couch, step out, begin,
Move our bodies, breathe it in
Stop peering through another’s life
Find a place, a friend, a tribe
We don’t grow stronger when we cut,
But when we build, explore, and trust
Create and love and give once more,
That’s where our truest growth is stored
We need real rest, unhurried sleep,
Not endless noise or screens that beep
No multitasking, no frantic pace—
Just quiet time and gentle space
We can’t live well on fast and fake,
But on food the earth itself did make
From farms and fields and seasons true,
Sustaining body, soul, and view
We don’t always need more to thrive,
But enough to use, enjoy, feel alive
Focus not on possessions earned or things we own,
But service given and things we’ve grown
Doubt will whisper, shadows creep,
Old voices echo loud and deep
But we are made, each one, unique—
With gifts to claim, with truth to seek
The world does not revolve on me,
We’re specks in time and history
Yet still entrusted, here and now,
To shape our heaven on earth, somehow
Our hands are a part of God’s design—
From them come care, love and acts divine
We must give and worship to feel free,
To embrace our Maker’s generosity
His will lived out in all we do,
On earth as in heaven breaking through
